I'm currently waiting for my new local build of qgis 2.2.0-1~exp1 to
finish so I can try to reproduce your problem with the latest and greatest.

The Alias directive in 000-default.conf looks wrong, it should use
ScriptAlias for CGI scripts. The apache2 defaults use:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
        AllowOverride None
        Options -Indexes +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
</Directory>

Can you try if this configuration works?

Kind Regards,

Bas
