Cannot put cgi-bin outside httpdocs

[tinker]

Moving sites from other servers into a Plesk 12 environment (Centos 6.5) I cannot see a way to set cgi-bin in the webspace root directory instead of document root (httpdocs). In previous Plesk CGI support allowed selection of cgi-bin location.

I have tried (to no avail):

/usr/local/psa/bin/domain -u mydomain.tld -cgi-mode www-root
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/httpdmng --reconfigure-domain mydomain.tld

mysql> SELECT * FROM dom_param WHERE dom_id=x;

(where x is the dom_id of my domain) shows the cgi_bin_mode param has val www-root but no change to system/<domain>/httpd.conf.

Relocating cgi-bin to httpdocs/cgi-bin is not an option - some of these sites are development environments where I cannot move cgi-bin on the live environment and some of the scripts use relative paths.

Is this no longer possible in Plesk 12?


EDIT: The following works (oops):

/usr/local/psa/bin/domain -u mydomain.tld -cgi-mode webspace
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/httpdmng --reconfigure-domain mydomain.tld
mkdir /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.tld/cgi-bin
chown myuser:psaserv /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.tld/cgi-bin

Yes, cgi-bin is created in httpdocs directory by default in latest Plesk versions. It is not possible change it through Plesk UI.

Thanks Igor. Is my solution likely to cause me problems? For instance will Plesk re-arrange cgi-bin on reboot or upgrade?

Not sure, but perhaps /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/httpdmng --reconfigure-all may break your customization.
