I would like to know more about setting up the webserver on my machine. All the HTML works fine, it's just when i try to execute a cgi, php or a pl script.. I have tried and tried to activate a copy of my site, on a local machine for debugin' and it always fail.

You didn't specified what exatly happening when u trying to execute cgi. is it giving "internal server error" or is it displays cgi code as it is in browser. If its internal server error its problem with your script. May be wrong path to perl or forgot to print html header before rediricting any output to browser or any other kind of script error. First make sure script is working by executing at commandline. If you see CGI file content as it is in your browser you have to do some work in your httpd.conf file.

I left the perl location as default... is this right? If not, could soneone please post the correct place.

type 'whereis perl' at commandline. It will return path where perl resides in your system

Also... How do i know if apache is running?

Simple way is to try access webserver using browser.
or ps -aux | grep httpd

git-instaweb

GIT-INSTAWEB(1) 						    Git Manual							   GIT-INSTAWEB(1)

NAME

       git-instaweb - Instantly browse your working repository in gitweb

SYNOPSIS

       git instaweb [--local] [--httpd=<httpd>] [--port=<port>]
		      [--browser=<browser>]
       git instaweb [--start] [--stop] [--restart]

DESCRIPTION

       A simple script to set up gitweb and a web server for browsing the local repository.

OPTIONS

       -l, --local
	   Only bind the web server to the local IP (127.0.0.1).

       -d, --httpd
	   The HTTP daemon command-line that will be executed. Command-line options may be specified here, and the configuration file will be
	   added at the end of the command-line. Currently apache2, lighttpd, mongoose, plackup and webrick are supported. (Default: lighttpd)

       -m, --module-path
	   The module path (only needed if httpd is Apache). (Default: /usr/lib/apache2/modules)

       -p, --port
	   The port number to bind the httpd to. (Default: 1234)

       -b, --browser
	   The web browser that should be used to view the gitweb page. This will be passed to the git web--browse helper script along with the
	   URL of the gitweb instance. See git-web--browse(1) for more information about this. If the script fails, the URL will be printed to
	   stdout.

       start, --start
	   Start the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files as necessary for spawning a new instance.

       stop, --stop
	   Stop the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance, nor does it close
	   the browser.

       restart, --restart
	   Restart the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files as necessary for spawning a new instance.

CONFIGURATION

       You may specify configuration in your .git/config

	   [instaweb]
		   local = true
		   httpd = apache2 -f
		   port = 4321
		   browser = konqueror
		   modulePath = /usr/lib/apache2/modules

       If the configuration variable instaweb.browser is not set, web.browser will be used instead if it is defined. See git-web--browse(1) for
       more information about this.
