My (Apache1) SCGI conf is as simple as this:


   SCGIServer 127.0.0.1 4000
   SCGIHandler On


and then I run 'demo_scgi.py' to serve pages.  If Apache is actually
connecting to SCGI (i.e. no pause before error message) then you should
look at the demo_scgi.py screen to see what errors pop up there.

For the CGI scripts, check out the Apache error_log to see what errors
come up & send them on the list.

cheers,
