Subj : Apache permission denied

Hi I have a problem with my Apache 1.3.26 running on Debian woody
installed with bf24. I got this apache (stable) from apt sources.

When I want Apache to execute cgi scripts it takes 500 Internal server
error. In the error log it writes
(13) Permission denied: exec of /var/www/online.cgi failed
Premature end of script headers

It seems, that I have set wrong privileges, but i don't. Every
directory before /var/www/online.cgi have chmod 755 and online.cgi has
755 too (I know it does not need so much privileges)

It seems, that my script file online.cgi is broken. But it isn't. On
another computer works fine. I tried to copy configuration files from
the computer on which cgi is working to the bad one. I copied all from
/etc/apache, all modules, and I set all the privileges the same.

I read, that I must disable suExec mechanism, so I renamed file
/usr/lib/apache/suexec to suexec.disabled

But it is still reporting 500 and permission denied.
Where can be the problem?
