i've searched on the net for sources to help me set it up right but there is just so many out there and some are useless to me , i'm getting a head-ache from reading them all , if some1 could point me in the right direction that would be great.

also , i have it working basicly (i mean in linux it pretty much sets itself up) but i cant get it to read from my CGI-BIN and wont let me read any of my php scripts.

I don't use cgi-bins and I haven't researched them. So I can't help there.

As for PHP, first make sure you have PHP installed/compiled. Second, make sure you have this line in your httpd.conf (apache config) file:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

cgi-bin can only be used to store and run executables. You cannot store html files in it typically as the server will try to interpret the code as a script. Make sure your permissions for any script in the cgi-bin is executable by all. Also, I would just get the O'reilly book on Apache, visit htttp://www.apache.org and also linuxguruz.org. Linuxguruz has tons of little sample bits, and tutorials. You could also take a look at tldp.org (most everything linux is there). check out the how tos there. I learned a lot from that a couple years ago, just going through a lot of them Wink
