Unable to Connect to CGI Daemon With Event MPM in Apache HTTPD

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

The error Im getting on the web page is:

Service Unavailable
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

In the error log file it says:

[cgid:error] [pid 9999:tid 140489848219392] (13)Permission denied: [client 999.999.999.999:99999] AH01257: unable to connect to cgi daemon after multiple tries: /var/www/http/cgi-bin/script.pl

I have changed the MPM to Event. SE is set to Permissive and the firewall is off.
