Slow Steve

Hi, Noobie and struggling. Using 7.1.7. for testing and development. I have copied an existing site to US and added it as a virtual host. Everything works perfectly apart from the 60 or so scripts. Is there any way I can have a script run from the sites own directories and folders (cgi-bin etc.) or must they go into the US made cgi-bin outside of the site strucuture. This is important as we have a number of purchased script based functions that are installed into their own folders and sub folders. I have tried the additions to httpd.conf with no success in getting scripts below the "root" level of the site to work. I cannot get them to run at say www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/thisfolder. Sorry if I have missed something basic (not for the first time) and thanks in advance.
