um, go to your root directory and their should be a directory labeled cgi-bin. if not, simply make a new directory and name it that.

EDIT: if your files are stored in a www or public_html directory, make the cgi-bin inside of it.

ok, once you have the folder, you put cgi files in it when you need. Most cgi scripts come with instructions on what to put in the cgi-bin. the directory is the cgi-bin.
