Configuring from web interface shows code

[Dr. Frank Bucolo]

Freeside looks like a great system and I belive am close to getting it
up.
Followed all instructions, installed modules and db (pg)  OK !

Went to the opening page and 
I used the config stated in the instructions and the web interface 
at http://server/freeside when I click on configuration or do any
function 
I just get the text of that cgi script.

ie:  http://server/freeside/config/config-view.cgi
===========================
<!-- mason kludge -->
<%= header('View Configuration', menubar( 'Main Menu' => $p,
                                     'Edit Configuration' =>
'config.cgi' ) ) %>

<% my $conf = new FS::Conf; my @config_items = $conf->config_items; %>
...
===========================
is the result of that link!

		httpd configuration:
User freeside

###FREESIDE CONFIGURATION   BEGIN

###FREESIDE CONFIGURATION   END

	I tried to add the following with no luck:

<Directory /var/www/html/freeside/>
Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
#Options All
AllowOverride All
AuthName Freeside
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/etc/freeside/htpasswd
require valid-user
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/html/freeside/search>
Options ExecCGI All
</Directory>

I had the permissions originally to root:root and chown to freeside, no
luck
