I just created a domain using plesk, but I'm unable to get a cgi program working for it.
For example, http://www.gridops.com/email/epostalservice.cgi
For me, this just pops up a download dialogue box instead of running the cgi program. When the domain was created I did check the "allow cgi access" checkbox.
Any ideas?

Unless you have changed your server settings you need to run cgi scripts in the cgi-bin.

How can I change my server settings so that I can run cgi programs outside from the cgi-bin?
Thanks!

add this to the first line of the script:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
Also dont chmod past 755.

Try the plesk forums. They seem pretty alive and check the FAQ. They might have something there. What do your log files say?

To do this you have to modify the httpd.conf file - there will be a section in this file that's commented out -
# AddHandler allows you to map certain file extensions to "handlers",
# actions unrelated to filetype. These can be either built into the server
# or added with the Action command (see below)
#
# If you want to use server side includes, or CGI outside
# ScriptAliased directories, uncomment the following lines.
#
# To use CGI scripts:
#
# AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
remove the "#" in front of the last line, save the file, restart apache.

Check your error_log too, it will give you much more information as to what's going wrong.

That would be correct. I believe you can do this per domain too, by editing the vhost.conf in the domains conf directory.
