I googled
debian cgi-bin directory in apache"
and got this page
http://nixcraft.com/linux-software/306-debian-apache2-cgi-bin-location.html
I then figured this could possibly be overrided in the apache config files,
so did this google...
debian main apache server config file
and got this as the top offering...
http://www.control-escape.com/web/configuring-apache2-debian.html
Is it of any help?
Some tips: Debian is pretty much debian whether it runs on a TS7xxx or some
200 core supercomputer. There are loads of sites on configuring apache.
Most of the distro changes to apache are just where the config files are -
the config details are same.
cheers
