This happens when the url you used as url_prefix does not work.

This sound a bit like you confusing url_prefix with a local filesystem 
path in your moin configuration.

url_prefix must be a URL (not a FS path) and that URL must get served by 
some web server (either by e.g. apache or the standalone server, if you 
use that for moin).

Sometimes it is useful to look into the html code emitted by moin.
If you use firefox, just hit Ctrl-U to see the html. Then just search 
for some css to see what url is used.

If you enter that url into the url line of the browser, you should see 
that css file. If you get an error, the serving of your url_prefix isn't 
working (either because you forgot it or because it's wrong).
