CodeIgniter HTAccess doesn't load CSS files
You may also wish to try the following:
# Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,# such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the# request to index.phpRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-dRewriteRule ^(.*)$ main.php/$1 [L]
This will allow you create whatever folders you want in the web root (styles, images, scripts) without having to declare them in the htaccess file.
I use this. Is well commented, and obviously not written by me.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / #Removes access to the system folder by users. #Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller, #previously this would not have been possible. #'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder. RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.* RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L] #When your application folder isn't in the system folder #This snippet prevents user access to the application folder #Submitted by: Fabdrol #Rename 'application' to your applications folder name. RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.* RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L] #Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file, #such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the #request to index.php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]</IfModule><IfModule !mod_rewrite.c> # If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's # can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal. # Submitted by: ElliotHaughin ErrorDocument 404 /index.php</IfModule>
your htaccess file is missing one line :)
RewriteEngine onRewriteCond $1 !^(main\.php|images|robots\.txt|styles)RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /main.php/$1 [L]
You can put your styles directory in the RewriteCond line. I added styles for example.
