Yes. Apache has a large configuration file where you can set the paths 
where different files are stored, as well as what permissions are needed 
to access those files (when you need people to log in). But the defaults 
should work just fine. CGI in /cgi-bin, html in /html.

You may also need to take a look at who has permission to run the cgi 
euphoria programs. With Linux, Apache is a user with very limited 
permissions (so that if it is compromised, it can't do much damage).
Therefore, your cgi programs must be owned by Apache or by someone 
who is in the Apache group. I don't know how Windows works.
