After configuring the CSS for this site using CodeIgnitor, I placed it in the specified location:
{link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<? echo base_url();?>application/assets/css/public.css" />
Although Firebug confirms that the link is correct, I am constantly encountering 403 errors when attempting to load it.
Looking at my .htaccess file, I must admit that I am not entirely sure what I'm supposed to be seeing:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt|application/assets/js|application/assets/css|application/assets/images)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond $1 ^(images|js|css)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./public/$1 [L,QSA]
Is there a solution to make this CSS file successfully load?
Additional Information: Apart from the css folder, there are also js and images folders within the assets directory, but even the favicon is not being fetched from the images folder as expected.
