You also need to Chmod the script you want to run as 755.

Something like:
#!/----/cgi-bin/rebol -cs
where /---/ is the path to your cgi-bin folder. Other things to check:
-- do you have a REBOL header?
-- are you outputting a content-type header and a blank line before any HTML?
-- If you are uploading the script from a non-UNIX environment (Win, MAC) has
your upload converted the line endings correctly?
--Is the script free of syntax errors? Try 'DOing it in a REBOL console
session (tip:
quit: :halt
before you do)
Try this as a minimalist example:
#!/----/cgi-bin/rebol -cs
REBOL [] ;; empty REBOL header
print "Content-type: text/html^/" ;; print HTTP header and blank line
print "Allo Le Monde!" ;; print HTML page
quit ;; end with a Quit, not a Halt
If you are planning to do an extensive CGI development, check out some useful
toys in the Library, eg:

Good luck!
