Telnet does not use ScriptAlias, so they should work (or produce errors)

You mean that any of those files called by http://homa.de/cgi-bin/WHATEVER
gives you a 404 error right?

I looked at your home page and I saw a call to the counter.cgi and it is
called by:

http://homa.de/counter/counter.cgi

I just looked at this directory by going to:

http://homa.de/counter/ 

and it displayed its contents which includes counter.cgi !

If this is the counter you were referring to, then you have a problem, it is
NOT using the counter in your cgi-bin! Otherwise you should be calling it by

http://homa.de/cgi-bin/counter.cgi

It seriously sounds to me like your cgi-bin is not set up correctly!

Try this (although you should have your isp look into the problem):

Copy simple to a new directory:

/www/scripts/simple

and rename it:

simple.cgi

and change permissions - chmod 4755 

then try http://homa.de/scripts/simple.cgi

That should show you the first mv generated page. (you would have
to change your catalog.cfg file for any of the links to work on the first 
and following pages)
