Looks like you need to do these:

chown -R backuppc.backuppc /var/www/cgi-bin/
chmod 755 /var/www/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin

Basically suexec will help you change user from "nobody" or "www-user"
which is what apache runs as to backuppc (the owner of the file).
However, to ensure everything is secure it makes sure a lot of things
are done properly such as permissions and owner/group of the file and
directory.

Try the above and let us know how you go.

Adam
