Instead of installing Apache (version-1) I could have RTFM. mods-enabled/ ..... For example: cgi.load -> /etc/apache2/mods-available/cgi.load
See:- http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2004/01/msg04729.html It may nice if mod_cgi was enable by default by Sarge installer (rc1). Perl and php are enabled by default, but as cgi is not these module do not work.
