I was going to give some other suggestions, but I see that the
following works:
http://sara.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/?plone_skin=Plone%20Default
or
http://sara.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/?plone_skin=Plone Default

You may need to keep adding that part on each url until you have fixed
it.


I will leave my original suggestions for completeness sake:


Hm, I see that not even the login_form is found:
http://sara.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/login_form

If you are still logged in, you can go to the Zope Management
Interface (ZMI):

http://sara.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/manage_main

That should still work.  Then go to portal_skins, then the properties
tab and fix it.

If you are nog logged in anymore, then you need to login one level
higher than Plone, namely in the zope root.  I hope your user account
has access there and that you can reach that part of the website;
read: you should be able to reach the port number that the zope
instance is running on.

Cheers,
