TwitterCan someone from Plesk answer the question as to why the ability to set the cgi-bin location to webspace was removed? cgi-bin has historically, back to the 90's, always been outside of the document root, and for very good reason, which is the fact that cgi scripts may rely on supporting files that you do not want retrievable via web request. With it removed from the web interface, it means customers who aren't tech saavy will likely expose files they didn't mean to, and those that are now need to contact their host for support to run the command:
/usr/local/psa/bin/domain -u domain -cgi true -cgi-mode webspace
Seems like removing it accomplished nothing but headache.
One additional note, the Plesk 12.5 migration utility stupidly changes the cgi location to www-root even if migrating a site using webspace, so those sites moved by the utility get broken along the way.
