You really need to go through your configuration again. For whatever reason, your Apache is setup so that it thinks test.html is a CGI. Otherwise it would not try to run it. The error log message clearly indicates it is trying to execute it as a CGI. If you remove the contents from it and just put a single line of text in test.html, does it still have the same problem?
