Do you have a copy of your old httpd.conf file (and snippets from
/etc/httpd/conf.d/ if you used them.   The authentication needs to be
required when accessing the cgi script which might not be in the
protected directory.

If you are starting over from scratch, you might find it easier to use
a version packaged for your linux distribution, although you have to
pay some attention to where the packages move things and mount your
old archive in the right place, it would make a future reinstall a lot
easier.
