You’re right, editing by domain is a better option.

Should be:
/var/www/vhosts/yourdomain.com/conf/vhost.conf
Not:
/var/www/vhosts/yourdomain.com/conf/httpd.include

The http.include should not be touched. Instead, put what you want in vhost.conf.

Sandi is correct. Anytime you change your php.ini settings you must restart apache for the settings to take effect. How this is actually done can vary – on the servers I use you type ‘service httpd restart’ at the command line.

I am using Apache and Virtuozzo on Plesk 8.3.0.
My problem was very similar: The Joomla! installer pre-installation check screen displayed “Unwritable” in red for the session save path parameter.

I did everything Dustin said above. But it still did not work. I tried about 20 other things, nothing worked. Finally, I found somewhere that you should re-start the Apache Web Server Service. I did that, and voila’!
