Make sure you wrote correctly.
===
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/local/etc/htdoc/cgi-bin/

Which you use 'htdocs' or 'htdoc'? 
Be carefull, must end with slash (/).

How about file mode? httpd-user must be able to run the script (eg. mode 
-r-xr-xr-x, or -rwx--x--x).
Can you run the files manually as web-user?
