You may want to join the Apache Mailing List and pick up apache_1.0.3.BSDI.tar.gz
from ftp://ftp.nl2k.edmonton.ab.ca/pub/Unix.
1) The virtual is just a gateway for the real thing, hence
you should manipulate the real thing and not the virtual host.
2) Cgi-bin works irregardles of real and virtual hosts, hence I think
you may NOT be manipulating the data correctly.
Please try solutions.
Also check your virtual host entry.
