Tank you Mr. Kai for your help

I did all that but still it doesn't work ? 
May be it is because of user admin
I don't know? Should I adduser admin and set it special group?

You have to allow .htaccess files on you web server and you should have
it 
and a password file
look at the ".htaccess" file in you vqadmin directory.

It should look like this:
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/current/conf/vqadmin.passwd
AuthName vQadmin
require valid-user
satisfy any

depending on you configuration, vqadmin.passwd can be located elsewhere
but 
must exist with an entry like
admin:u5KhZynsB

This is your admin access with an encrypted password.

For the webserver I do have following settings in the httpd.conf:
<Directory "/home/www/cgi-sys/vqadmin">
       deny from all
       Options ExecCGI
       AllowOverride AuthConfig
       Order deny,allow
   </Directory>

Good luck
