1. Look in /etc/apache2/conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
and see where the CGI binaries directory is configured
(eg /usr/lib/cgi-bin; used to be /var/www/cgi-bin)

2. Make sure serve-cgi-bin.conf is symlinked to ../conf-enabled

3. Put your binary in the directory given in [1]

4. Make sure it is set to execute privilege

5. Restart apache2
