Hopefully, you have had a chance to look at some of the documentation 
that others have suggested.  Also, CGI scripts have to have a special 
output format.  They need to include headers telling the server/browser 
what to do with the output.  Your best bet is to follow the 
documentation step-by-step to make sure that the server is doing what 
you think before writing your own scripts.

As for your error_log/config files, it appears that you do need to tell 
your server where your cgi-bin is, as noted elsewhere.  Also, you need 
to change permissions and chmod on all your scripts so they can be run 
by the server.  Those "permission denied" errors often imply a script 
that does not have correct access and execute privileges set.
