First, make sure your Apache has mod_cgi and mod_alias compiled and
loaded.
Next, make sure your httpd.conf contains a line of the form
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/path/to/your/cgi-bin/"
Next, make sure your cgi-bin directory has at least the execute permission
for all users. For example,
chmod a+x /path/to/your/cgi-bin
The same should be true for all parent directories leading up to your
cgi-bin directory. In the above example, that means /, /path, /path/to,
and /path/to/your should all have at least world execute permissions.
Finally, each executable file in your cgi-bin directory should have world
execute permissions. If the executable is a script (rather than a
compiled C program), it should also have world read permissions.
