What does your logfile say?

You have two problems, as I understand:
First, your apache doesn't seem to feed index.html when you access checkout
directory. A quick test would show relevant results:
put your index.html file into /var/www and then, using your favorite
browser, go to www.linuxspice.com. If your index.html page shows up without
explicitly stating it within the URL - then your problem is with the
checkout directory - meaning one (or several) of the following:
a) your checkout directory isn't readable/executable by www-data user or group

 I chmod 777 for both directory(checout and cgi-bin in my /var/www

b) your directory is misconfigured in httpd.conf

    it is you yesterday modified version now running in my /etc/apache/

c) you have an .htacess file within the directory that changes apache's

no .htaccess file

behavior upon access of the checkout directory.

If your /var/www/index.html _isn't_ displayed by the browser when you access
www.linuxspice.com then there could be other problems. In that case -
increase the loglevel inside your httpd.conf and examine your logs during
apache's restart.

Your second problem is that your cgi isn't found, when accessed from within
your html file. First off, make sure that the domain name actually resolves
by your apache; you might wanna reference your cgi otherwise...
Check yout httpd.conf for spelling errors (no one is perfect)
Make sure that your cgi-bin directory is accessable by www-data group and
your cgi script is executable and readable by www-data.

Also, when I accessed www.linuxspice.com/checkout

www.linuxspice.com/checkout/index.html you will see something-very simple source and info
- it became evident that

some page got loaded (look at the source). I suspect that your index.html
file is erreneous. First off - there are no <body> tags inside framesets.
Framesets are comprised of definitions of frames. <noframes> is seperate
from framesets.

:

hope to see your hint or any linuxer's advice
