It looks like the aliasing is forcing everything to "seem" like it is in CGI-BIN, which prevents the use of relative paths (i.e. without the '/'). Normally you would not do that with a CGI app. Your aliasing would force calls to CGI programs to be in a specific library, but allow other resources (static html, css, js etc) to be referenced relative to the current directory - without a preceding '/'.
It does seem like the file was in the wrong place also. I couldn't really work out from the information provided where it was, so assumed it was correctly located, but was being scuppered by the aliasing.

I'm confused by this reply, because the directory-relative link was clearly one of the two problems (the storage location of the CSS file being the other).

If you are finding that it is looking in your CGI-BIN folder for CSS, rather then it suggests that you have some scriptalias directive(s) that are incorrect.
All these suggestions about putting a '/' at the beginning etc sound like red-herrings to me. There is no need for any of that. The way you are referencing the css file is fine, as long as the directives are OK.
Please post up you Apache config file.

Subject: [WEB400] CSS file not being found
Why would my css file not be found for the web page I am serving from a CGI-BIN AS400 library?
this is the url that I navigate to:
http://intranet400.sssss.com/cgi-bin/Dashbd02c
there is a program named dashbd02c in library CGI400 on the as400. This works.
But the CSS is not being found.
fiddler tells me the .css file is being looked for in /cgi-bin/dashbd02b.css
but cgi-bin in this apache config is an as400 library.
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /qsys.lib/cgi400.lib/
Here is my apache config.
The name is INTRANET
the member INTRANET in QATMHINSTC contains the following:
-apache -d /www/intranet -f conf/httpd.conf -AutoStartY
so I would expect the server to search /www/intranet for the .css file. But it is not being found. Fiddler has the line marked in red.
"/cgi-bin/dashbd02b.css"
there are a few <Director> entries in the .CONFD file <Directory /www/steve/css>
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
currently I have the .CSS file in the /www/intranet directory. also the /www/steve directory.
here is my HTML code:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="120"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="dashbd02b.css" /> </head> <body> <H1>some heading text</H1> <P> some paragraph text.
</P>
<pre>
some pre text lines
line 1 line 1 line 1 line 1
line 2 line 2 line 2 line 2
line 3 line 3 line 3 line 3
</pre>
</body>
</html>
