I cant include js files

Hello, first time using CI and seems awesome!
Im trying to include a js file and doesnt seem to work.

Im getting 404 error not found.

View File:

PHP Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo base_url();?>js/ajaxGetRegions.js" ></script> 


My js path:

var/www/applications/js/ajaxGetRegions.js


.htaccess

PHP Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|js|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [L,QSA] 


Seems that the problem is the .htaccess I used to remove the index.php, altough i try to exclude the js folder from that.

mod_rewrite is enabled.

Any ideas what could be the issue ?
