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.

Subject: Re: [WEB400] CSS file not being found
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).
