Hmmmm. There are a number of things that can prevent you from invoking a CGI script from a browser. You'll probably need to give us more information.

Are you able to see the http://your.server.com/server-status page? Apache (if properly configured, started, etc., ought to give you a status page at that URL (assuming you have server-status turned on in your httpd.conf). If it doesn't, you may have problems with your Apache installation.
Is your cgi-bin directory ScriptAlias-ed, and does it have a <Directory> entry? If not, you'll need to edit your httpd.conf file accordingly and restart Apache.
Is the CGI script executable by the user that Apache is running under?
Is the CGI script printing the proper header information first, before it prints anything else?

Just a few thoughts to get you started. Post a little more detail and you will probably be pleasantly surprised at how helpful this community can be.
