It all depends very much on how the web server is configured. Do you know if the web server is configured to run CGI programs? Do you have access to the Apache configuration files?

You say that the CGI program is in the cgi-bin directory - was that directory there before, or did you create it yourself? Are there any other cgi-bin directories in the web area on the server?
