You need to add ScriptAlias to the httpd.conf and some directory 
parameters..

Do a search in your existing httpd.conf file for ScriptAlias. I have 
copied config info from my httpd.conf, I am running 1.3.27 version of 
apache.

I am just guessing, but the virtual host should look something like.. 
Just add the ScriptAlias info into the virtual host tags

<VirtualHost downtown.com>
DocumentRoot "d:/www/apache/apache2/htdocs/downtown"
ServerName "downtown.com"


     # ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server 
scripts.
     # ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
     # documents in the realname directory are treated as applications 
and
     # run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to 
the client.
     # The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives 
as to
     # Alias.
     #
     ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ 
"d:/www/apache/apache2/htdocs/downtown/cgi-bin"

     # CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
     #
     <Directory "d:/www/apache/apache2/htdocs/downtown/cgi-bin">
         AllowOverride None
         Options None
         Order allow,deny
         Allow from all
     </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

> d:\\www\\apache\\apache2\\cgi-bin

This would be the default server config info. If you did not added the 
ScriptAlias Directive to the VirtualHost, any 
http://servername/cgi-bin/ will resolve to the default server config.

     # ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server 
scripts.
     # ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
     # documents in the realname directory are treated as applications 
and
     # run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to 
the client.
     # The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives 
as to
     # Alias.
     #
     ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "d:/www/apache/apache2/cgi-bin"

     # CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
     #
     <Directory "d:/www/apache/apache2/cgi-bin">
         AllowOverride None
         Options None
         Order allow,deny
         Allow from all
     </Directory>

note the forward slashes..
