If you look in apache config file you will find a line like this:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
which tells apache to handle the files with .cgi and .pl as cgi scripts.
Without this apache will handle them as default text/html file. So the
script alis is useless without proper handle, it just defines the default
script directory.
Obviously if you want to have some PHP scripts to be handled as cgi by
apache you need to add that new extension to the AddHandler line:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl .php
So obviously your file name without extension doesn't match this criteria.

Hi Igor,
Could you tell a little bit more why the name should be test.cgi ? I am
sure there is a file with name test-cgi in cgi-bin directory with 755. So
wonder why test.cgi should be used as you said. Do you mean all scripts
should have .cgi suffix? Httpd.conf doc indicated that ScriptAlias
specifies a directory in which all files are treated as scripts instead of
docs.
Btw, I installed it on another machine, same issue.
Thanks,
