Unable to revert PHP from fastcgi to module

PSi_101

Regular Pleskian
I've got a domain which I enabled fastcgi for, but now I want to go back to running it with mod_php. But Plesk is not letting me do it.
In domain/conf/httpd.include, there's references to fcgid even after I make the change in the control panel to run it as a Module. There's also a php5-cgi process running under that user so I know it's still running PHP with fastcgi.
Anyone know a workaround/fix for this?
 
Wait......found the answer. For some reason one of the subdomains had fastcgi turned on too, so Plesk was leaving fastcgi on the domain.
Once I made sure all the subdomains were set to run PHP as a module, I reapplied the setting and it's now running as a module.
