Cannot use FastCGI

[solved] Cannot use FastCGI

I am running a Plesk Panel 11.5.30 installation on a Debian 7.0 Root Server. For some reason I cannot choose "FastCGI" under "Hosting Settings" for a Domain. Only "Apache module" and "CGI application" are available in the dropdown menu. It is available within the Service Plan settings though. Also all the modules required for FastCGI are running. If I try to manually set FastCGI via

/usr/local/psa/bin/domain.com -u domain.com -php_handler_type fastcgi -fastcgi true

I only get

Wrong value of php_handler_type, it can take only CGI application, Apache module

What could be the reason that FastCGI isn't available for any of my configured domains?

VPS is not enabled. Output of /usr/local/psa/bin/vps_optimized --status

VPS Optimized mysql-innodb: off
VPS Optimized apache-modules-all: off
VPS Optimized apache-modules-except-php: off
VPS Optimized apache-modules-except-scripting: off

Also the error I get when running /usr/local/psa/bin/domain.com -u domain.com -php_handler_type fastcgi -fastcgi true is

Wrong value of php_handler_type, it can take only CGI application, Apache module

and not

WARNING: mod_php is disabled because the Panel operates in the VPS-optimized mode.fastcgi is disabled because the Panel operates in the VPS-optimized mode.
SUCCESS: Update of domain 'DOMAIN.TLD ' completed.

What else could the problem be?

Any other ideas? I really need to figure out how to enable FastCGI with my Plesk Panel Installation...

Just to add: in the Service Plans I can enable

Perl support
Python support
FastCGI support (required for Ruby on Rails)

However, neither of these 3 options can be set in the Subscriptions in the actual Hosting Settings.

Turns out the module simply wasn't installed (for Plesk at least? though the module was always present, at least as far as I checked). I ran

# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller

And installed the missing fcgid package. Now I am able to select FastCGI.
