This question has been asked several times, but I researched and still can't solve it. In one of my view file, I have (referencing to my css):
link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/application/views/screen.css"
- www
- application
- view
- css
- screen.css
- system
-www
link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/screen.css"
url
""
You can't put your CSS files or files to be served to browser in the application folder as it is protected for security reasons with a .htaccess file set to 'Deny from All' Your CSS, JS, image files etc, need to be outside of the application folder.
Put your CSS file in a folder called 'css' in the 'www' folder so it is NOT inside 'application' or 'system'. Then make sure you use the following (notice the leading slash, denoting an absolute URL):
href="/css/screen.css"
Use this instead:
# If your default controller is something other than
# "welcome" you should probably change this
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|css)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
