As I said, be sure you are closing all your Directory containers.
You commented out the </Directory> for your cgi-bin directory. That
means the <Directory> that is opened is never closed. You can't have
Locations inside Directories, so it is invalid.
Remove the comment from your </Directory> and it should work fine.
