If you configured your /cgi-bin using ScriptAlias (I believe this is the case for the default httpd.conf), then it expects everything in that directory to be a script. So it is trying to execute your html page as a CGI and failing.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_alias.html
"The ScriptAlias directive has the additional effect of marking the target directory as containing only CGI scripts."

If you want to put your CGI and static content in the same directory, then don't use ScriptAlias, use a file extension to mark CGIs instead, such as:

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

The directory that your CGI scripts are in needs to have:
Options ExecCGI.

this is what i have in conf file

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

#
# For files that include their own HTTP headers:
#
#AddHandler send-as-is asis

#
# For server-parsed imagemap files:
#
#AddHandler imap-file map

#
# For type maps (negotiated resources):
# (This is enabled by default to allow the Apache "It Worked" page
# to be distributed in multiple languages.)
#
AddHandler type-map var

#
# Filters allow you to process content before it is sent to the client.
#
# To parse .shtml files for server-side includes (SSI):
# (You will also need to add "Includes" to the "Options" directive.)
#

#AddType text/html .shtml
#AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml

what changes do i need to run .html files from cgi-bin directory
