Plesk is very finicky about the versions of software you install and very jealous of its own configuration file. True.
So, once a server is running Plesk, it controls everything from Apache to MySQL to PHP. You can't modify a setting in Apache. Plesk will roll it back for you in few minutes.
This means tuning things on a Plesk server is a pain. It also means you cannot upgrade things from RPMs, ...etc. This is an often misunderstood aspect of plesk. Yes the configuration files are autogenerated and replaced anytime a system configuration is changed but there is always a place for you to inject your changes in a way that lets them remain persistent.
* In the case of a global setting you just add a custom conf file to /etc/httpd/conf.d/ named anything.conf and it will be picked right up. * In thew case of a domain specific setting you create/edit a vhost.conf file in the sites conf directory. If you didnt know about these two insertion points i can see why ou might think plesk a pain but it really is a decent way to manage configuration files and allow custom modifications too.
