Help for Apache Web Server!

I've recently installed a software with a Web Interface on a
RH-6.2 Server.

The Software is accessed from the web by opening the following URL:

myserver.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/mysoftware.cgi

But after I've installed the software successfully, I could not access the page from the web and the following message appeared(knowing that I'm using Apache server).

##########################################

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/mysoftware.cgi on this server.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache/1.3.12 Server at myserver.mydomain.com Port 80

##########################################

How can I solve that???

The software is CWMail which is a program that give the E-mail users an access to there email accounts from the Web. So, it creates a kind of interface between the mail server and the web browser!

The directory permissions are:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@mail cgi-bin]# stat /home/httpd/cgi-bin
File: "/home/httpd/cgi-bin"
Size: 4096 Filetype: Directory

While the cgi page permissions are:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
