This is NOT a rant against Xitami; I used it on 'doze boxen for several years with pleasure and satisfaction.

However, Xitami's default config does NOT, IIRC, countenance local cgi-bin dirs inside a user dir; rather, all has to be stuffed in the cgi-bin in server_root, unless you parse Xitami's documentation successfully and learn how to config for local cgi-bins... AMONG OTHER ISSUES.

Hence, my current inclination would be to second the suggestion that you install XAMPP or even Apache 2.n for Windows. They're both free, and working with Apache and it's (sometimes murky) docs puts you on the road to mastering an industry standard.
