I think the original suggestion was to make sure the IMAGEPATH (which is where the temporary image files, ie. maps, are created) points to somewhere in httpdocs instead of cgi-bin and then make sure the permissions on the temp directory are 777.
The data directory can stay in cgi-bin so your data is not directly downloadable.
