Suse linux 9 & Apache 2

Okay folks i’m asking for some help.
I am currently working a project to convert my site to run on linux, I currently have Suse linux 9 with Apache 2, with PHP and MYSQL installed. My main issue is that I can not get any file with the extention .cgi to execute, even though its in the cgi bin, can anyone suggest or email me with details of how the apache 2 conf file should look like with cgi working, I have tried to make sense of the documentation on the apache site but I just get confused, once i can see a copy of a working config I’ll be able to work out what parts of the config does what.
Thanks folks
