I see that there is an apache.conf file in the /etc/backuppc directory.  My 
installation has a symbolic link to that file in the /etc/apache2/conf-enabled 
directory.  The settings in that file seem to control the backuppc cgi-bin 
directory.  Here is what in my file:

Alias /backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/

<Directory /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/>
         AllowOverride None
         Allow from all

         # Uncomment the line below to ensure that nobody can sniff importanti
         # info from network traffic during editing of the BackupPC config or
         # when browsing/restoring backups.
         # Requires that you have your webserver set up for SSL (https) access.
         #SSLRequireSSL

         Options ExecCGI FollowSymlinks
         AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
         DirectoryIndex index.cgi

         AuthUserFile /etc/backuppc/htpasswd
         AuthType basic
         AuthName "BackupPC admin"
         require valid-user

</Directory>

Hope this gets you in the right direction.
