Hi.
On my Linux (Debian) systems, the cgi-bin directories - and the scripts
in it - have a owner "root", but a group "www-data", and are executable
by this group "www-data".
Apache starts up as root (which allows it to open a listening port 80),
but then (in a prefork config at least), the children runs as
www-data/www-data.
(See the User and Group directives in your conf file).
I presume that cgi-bins must be executable by the user/group the Apache
children run as.
