Are you sure that you're modifying the correct DirectoryIndex?? Check
all the <Directory*> sections and look for possible overrides.

Remember that options apply for the specified directory and all below,
and maybe your cgi-bin somewhere else and not included in your modified
config.

Besides that, are you sure that DirectoryIndex applies to cgi
