Change FTP user -- Apache fails to start

C

When I change FTP username in Plesk (Websites & Domains -> FTP Access) Apache fails to start.

For example. When I create new customer and domain I set initial FTP username for that domain. Then customer goes to to Websites & Domains -> FTP Access -> And changes default username to something else.

After that Apache fails to start and sends error:

Generating new Apache configuration on host <plesk3.gigaspark.com> failed because the following error(s) occurred:
apache2: bad user name new-user-name
Please fix error(s) in templates of Apache configuration and retry generating the configuration file.

Anyone else having same problem?
