How can I make CGI run in domains' httpdocs folder?

To do it on a per domain basis, create vhost.conf containing the following, and put into itthe fdomains /httpdocs folder:

<Directory /path/from/root/this/domain/httpdodcs>
<Files ~ (\.cgi$)>
SetHandler cgi-script
Options ExecCGI
allow from all
</Files>
</Directory>

Then run:
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -v -a (or path your PSA (plesk)Install) for the changes to take effect. Now, all files with '.cgi' extension will be executed as usual CGI scripts in /httpdocs/.

To enable CGI in httpdocs for the whole server just uncomment the "AddHandler cgi-script .cgi" directive in httpd.conf and restart Apache. (NOT RECOMMENDED)
