I had the same symptoms when installing MoinMoin under Apache 1.3 + 
FastCGI earlier this week. In the end it turned out that it was not 
MoinMoin-related but a problem with interaction of mod_fastcgi and the 
mod_suexec wrapper. Are you using suexec, or any other wrapper for that 
matter?

It would help if you first checked whether or not FastCGI works in your 
Apache configuration at all. Try replacing moin.fcg with a simple 
FastCGI test script, e.g. the one at:
