why people can still access my files from cgi-bin when ...

I have blocked possible pentrator from the internet.

my cgi-bin is in /var/www/cgi-bin and they can in and out and I see that with apache status.


how do I mark a block of lines and copy in to another area in vi?
DOes apache allow multiple directories to be within the <directory block stmt>

like
<Directory /var/www/html, /var/www/cgi-bin >

Try dd while in command-mode to cut the current line, then move cursor to the line and p to put (paste) it in command-mode.

No.

Looks fine to me.

Your cgi-bin is not under your docroot at /var/www/html, so you need to specify that within <Directory /var/www/cgi-bin> explicitly. Or you can even specify that at /var/www so your deny line will be enforced recursively. However, be sure not to override it (redefine it again).
