Hi, pay attention to the following:
The server with setup configuration looks for your main page in the
/webroot/ directory along the following chain of filenames in the shown
order:

index.ssi
index.html
index.htm
default.ssi
default.htm
default.html

The first file from the list that was found will be shown as your main page.
If there's no file from the list in /webroot/ the directory contents of
/webroot/ is listed as directory table.
It was also my first step with Pi3Web to add .shtml to the mime-types and
index file order.

Try to change the following in Config.Pi3:

# ---
# 
# Scripts, WinScripts, FastCGIScripts
#
#	Handler sequences for resources which have mapped to these
# 	respective types
#
# ---
<Object>
    Name Scripts
    Class FlexibleHandlerClass
    Handle
Condition="&and(&cmp($c,internal/x-directory),&regexp('/cgi-bin'/,$z))"
TableHTML
    Condition "&cmp(&dblookup(response,string,ObjectMap),Scripts)"
^^^^
Now the standard cgi handler calls the TableHTML handler if mime-type is 
internal/x-directory and the shortened URL path begins with /cgi-bin/.

The handling of WinCGI, FastCGIand ISAPI you could redirect in the same way.
