I think your apache server is not configured to server files from
/var/www/cgi-bin/cgi-ca as CGI scripts. You must have something like
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/
<Directory /var/www/cgi-bin/>
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from `your nets here`
</Directory>
I wonder to what is set your DocumentRoot option? Because it is not a
very bright idea to have cgi-scripts under directory DocumentRoot is set
to, from security point of view IMHO
