I am trying to get apaches server status to work with Plesk 11. But running sudo /usr/sbin/apache2ctl fullstatus results in:

                                   Forbidden

   You don't have permission to access /server-status on this server.

    Apache Server at localhost Port 80
'www-browser -dump http://localhost:80/server-status' failed.
Maybe you need to install a package providing www-browser or you
need to adjust the APACHE_LYNX variable in /etc/apache2/envvars

How can I enable server status?

So far I have tried to insert

<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from localhost
</Location>

into the httpd.conf, but I am not sure if it is active. I also tried adding it to /var/www/vhosts/somedomain/conf/vhost.conf but I do not know which domain I have to add this to, as fullstatus seems to query localhost directly. I guess I am a little confused by the use of vhost configuration in Plesk.
