Issue Can not run CGI-BIN scripts Error 403

[H.W.B]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian Version 18.0.52 Update #3

Hello,
I am trying to start a CGI-BIN script, but getting error 403.
There is NO .htaccess file!!
The log files shows :
[core:crit] (13)Permission denied: AH00529: /var/www/vhosts/dirkbartels.nl/httpdocs/cgi-bin/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable and that '/var/www/vhosts/dirkbartels.nl/httpdocs/cgi-bin/' is executable
So i searched for a solution for that.
Found https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12377826206231
Did the solution but no changes. Still the same error
Also found this : https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/...on-Catalog-script-not-found-or-unable-to-stat
Did this also, but also no change
I hope some one can help me to solve this

There should be an .htaccess file in /cgi-bin/. If there isn't any, add one. Then, show me the output of ls -la /var/www/vhosts/dirkbartels.nl/httpdocs/,
It's probably an issue with permissions. You can also just run plesk repair fs dirkbartels.nl and it'll probably fix it.

Hello,

I have added an empty .htaccess file, but the same error remains.
Here is the result of the output...

Oh noes! Permissions seem fine. What's inside? ls -la /var/www/vhosts/dirkbartels.nl/httpdocs/cgi-bin/

Everything seems okay. Unless the file has ACLs for some reason, I can't think what might be the problem. I'd need to log in to check further.

Sorry for the delay,
What do you need??

Hello,
I found that Plesk is giving the CGI-BIN directory a chmod of 0750.
That is preventing executing all files.
When change this to 0755 it works.
When plesk creates a domain the CGI-BIN is standard 0750.
Is this a BUG??
