Not sure if you're somewhat new to linux or not, but just in case, here are some common gotchas I've come across:
In addition to copying the proxy.cgi to a folder where Apache will run cgi executables for you, also be sure your proxy.cgi is executable (permission-wise) by the user running the apache process (probably www-user). You may wish to just to 'chmod a+x proxy.cgi) to ensure it's executable by everyone for testing. If you do want to make a new folder that is specifically cgi-executable to put your proxy.cgi in, a simple example of how to do this for tilecache is available under the 'running under cgi' section of the readme for that program (http://svn.tilecache.org/trunk/tilecache/docs/README.txt), and you can follow the same concept for any cgi program you want to run. Also, just in case, be sure you can run the program outside of apache by just doing ./proxy.cgi in a shell -- if there are errors, such as it can't find the python program, or you've edited in windows and the newlines are compatible, this will help isolate some problems.
