Debian, Apache, plus CGI execute problem

[Sean]

Do you have the proper permissions and ownership on the files? It
wont execute them with your user permissions. 

Also typically CGI's are only allowed to execute in the the /cgi-bin
directory because of permissions set in the apache config file and knowing
debian they probably arent allowed to run at all which also might be the
problem for php.
