Interesting- /etc/apache2 does NOT contain a copy of apache.conf but 
there is one called apache2.conf ? Would it be reasonable to say that 
this is the file you mean? If not, then should this file be left alone 
and a new one created? Meantime, I have updated apache2.conf with the 
<Location /cgi-bin> data you suggested. Can easily revert back if needed.

Good advice is like good paint. It only works when applied.
