Try it without the /test/ subdirectory. By default, Apache sets up a /cgi-bin/ that's applied to all hosts at their root level. Of course you can add extra cgi-bin directories, but you have to do that yourself. Look up "script alias" in the Apache manual, and read on from there. If you also have SELinux running, you'll have to contend with customising SELinux contexts to allow cgi-bin scripts to run from other locations, too. There's a FAQ about SELinux and Apache on the Fedora website. Alternatively, put the scripts in the place already allowed to run them, and use the ScriptAlias Apache directive to map the URI in the manner that you want. There doesn't have to be a direct co-relation between URIs and file system structure. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
