How to link external css files in codeigniter 2.0

[eluser]why.you.and.i[/eluser]
Hello, i'm having the same problem here, including CSS works only if the CSS is put on the root folder but fail when i put it in application/media folder (i'm using CI 2.0.2 too).

Sadly, the mod-rewrite suggested before doesn't work for me, it keeps redirecting me to the xampp homepage. I'm using this for now in my root htaccess, can anybody help me with the htaccess (so i can put my css in application folder)?


My htaccess now (in root folder)

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]
