As far as I understood /usr/share/doc/collectd/examples/museum/README
museum.cgi and collection.cgi have to be used together.

For my Debian system the canonical place is /var/www so
I have put both CGI scripts into
/var/www/collectd and made them executable. Pointing my browser to
localhost/collectd I tested both scripts but they didn't work.
So I tested them on the command line and got the errors mentioned
above.

You are right, but I have missed this

Yes I have read that and try to use the scripts as a starting point. 
I have done some modifications for my system already. But not
enough apparently.
