ScriptAlias take the matching 1st argument found in the URL and maps it
to the 2nd argument in the filesystem as well as specifying that it is
executable. If it is commented out it obviously isn't going to work -
and the filesystem location specified has to match the actual location
of the file which doesn't seem to be the case.

ScriptAlias directives also apply to intermediate directories, so your
entry of:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"
means that a url of:
/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi
would execute /var/www/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi, which is where I though you
said you put the file.
