What have you tried already on the server side? Basically, you need to declare that the directory containing matweb.exe is a CGI directory, that could be as simple as: ScriptAlias /path/to/cgi-bin /cgi-bin Then make sure that matweb.exe is executable by the apache "User" and that this user has access to any files that the program uses. See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/cgi.html for details.
