apache. ok. in your httpd.conf you'll have something like

<VirtualHost some.thing.or.other>
    ServerAdmin blairacampbell@shaw.ca
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html
    Servername your.web.site
    ...
    bunch of stuff
    ...
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/
    <Directory /var/www/html>
    DirectoryIndex /cgi-bin/sam/index.html
    ...
    more stuff
    ...
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Make it look like that (obviously the some.thing.or.other and so on bits 
need to be replaced and so on), restart apache and this should do what 
you want if i understand you correctly.
