I generally put my cgi-bin directory in the same level as my root www
directory.
For example:
root www -> /usr/local/www/htdocs
cgi-bin -> /usr/local/www/cgi-bin
Then you need to add a ScriptAlias Directive (if you're using Apache) into
your httpd.conf file
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /usr/local/www/cgi-bin
