Hi there,
I'm new to Codeigniter. I'm having trouble loading my stylesheet. No matter what I try I keep getting a 404 file not found.
In the header template between <head> I have tried the following:
<?php echo link_tag('assets/css/styles.css'); ?>
Which out puts:
<link href="http://ci_news.local/assets/css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
And I have tried:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url("assets/css/styles.css"); ?>">
Which out puts:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ci_news.local/assets/css/styles.css">
Neither method works. I am loading the helpers correctly. I am using Xampp on Win7 with virtual hosts. I have folder called 'ci_news' in my htdocs folder. I can browse to 'http://ci_news.local' to load my project.
The 'assets' folder is located in the root of my project in the same location as the 'application', 'system' and 'user_guide' folders.
My .htaccess file looks like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|styles|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
My routes are the following:
$route['news/create'] = 'news/create';
$route['news/(:any)'] = 'news/view/$1';
$route['news'] = 'news';
$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1';
$route['default_controller'] = 'pages/view';
Any idea what I'm missing? Thanks a lot guys.
