file paths are wrong

[quote author="GamingFusion" date="1276630116"]the file exist because i go to the file location in the browser(file:///Users/Username/Sites/socialcrab/system/appication/views/socialcrab/assets/images/logo.png) and it comes up but i even tried putting that as the file location in the code and it wont load.[/quote]

base_url() is the location of index.php, in this case I'm guessing /users/username/sites/socialcrab. /users/username/sites/socialcrab/assets/images/logo.png is not the path you have pasted above... So no, it doesn't exist.

My suggestion is to move assets to the same location as index.php, so your assets will always be in the same place relative to the url.

I'm also partial to the traditional "only rewrite if the path doesn't exist" htaccess:

Code:

# Turn on URL rewriting
RewriteEngine On

# Put your installation directory here:
RewriteBase /

# Don't rewrite valid paths
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# Rewrite all other URLs to index.php/URL
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [PT,L]
