Have you added the necessary parts for mod_lisp to the Apache
configuration?

Note that you can always work in TBNL's "stand-alone" mode to make
sure that the problem is not with Apache/mod_lisp.

This seems to be a problem with the Debian distribution.

TBNL (or rather KMRCL) does not work with CLISP, see the docs.  Try
LispWorks, AllegroCL, SBCL, or CMUCL.
