I'm not sure how you are setting up your web server, but, in general,
use the ScriptAlias mapping directive within the <VirtualHost> sectional 
directive.

Like so:
 
ScriptAlias     /cgi-bin/ /www/server/path/user/site/cgi-bin/

For example:

<VirtualHost 123.45.67.89>
    ServerName      www.usersite.net
    ServerAdmin     admin at usersite.net
    DocumentRoot    /www/server/path/user/site
    ScriptAlias     /cgi-bin/ /www/server/path/user/site/cgi-bin/
    ErrorLog        /wwwlogs/logs/usersite/error_log
#   TransferLog     /wwwlogs/logs/usersite/access_log
    TransferLog "|/usr/local/sbin/cronolog /wwwlogs/logs/usersite/%Y-%m-%d"
</VirtualHost>

If this doesn't work, check to see if you have 

AddHandler cgi-script cgi 

Hope that helps,
