css in codeigniter - css

Question

Hi i have such a problem in codeigniter. I cant use styles of my .css file. But I know that this filt is connected to my views. (Firebug). Here is my link for connecting:
`<link rel="stylesheet" href="images/Enlighten.css" type="text/css" />`
css file in directory /images/Enlighten.css
Here is my htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|template|robots\.txt|public|)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(css¦js¦jpg¦gif)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
I think that my mistake is in this file.(I dont deal in this file :(( )
P.S Everywhere when i use styles from Enlighten.css text print as '??????????'

Answer 1

How about making it less complicated like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
ps.
It's best not to place your CSS in the images directory to prevent confusion.
I always use an assets folder and organize everything in there:
/Assets
/css
/images
/js

Answer 2

use following code for your htaccess file :-
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

Answer 3

I recommend to use the following .htaccess:
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
#Removes access to the system folder by users.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
#Prevents user access to the application folder
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /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>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
