Style sheet CSS not showing

Question

I cannot get style sheets, template type CSS, to display. All I get is a 404 error when I attempt to view a CSS file, js works fine.

http://mydomain.com/?css=style/mycss

Displays a 404 error

Running under Apache2, error log appears to be no help. I was thinking this looks like a permission error, but no seeing that js works.

ExpressionEngine v2.9.0 - Build Date: 20140715

Has anyone seen this before?

Answer 1

Your url adress is not correct, to display your css file, you have to set the related path:

Mydomain/path/file.css

An example: Domain.com/main/color.css

No need to put ?css=, it will give you a 404 error.

But why do you want to display a css file?

If you use a css template you have to insert the template path inside the page header.

href="{stylesheet='channel/channel_css'}"

Answer 2

Now i understand your css path. It's html code created by EE. So i've created a template too inside the html header:

No problems related, when i show the code source it appears:

http://domain.com/?css=essai/essai_css

So your problem could be a SERVER PATH TO SITE'S TEMPLATES, that you can set in template/global preferences. Or perhaps a redirect problem isnside .htaccess. Check the template path too.

I ran into the same issue with v2.9.2. The only thing that worked for me was to

• hard code the full path to the css files into the head template,
  href="/system/expressionengine/templates/default_site/stylesheets/base-css" instead of href="{stylesheet='stylesheets/base-css'}"
• enable "Save Template as File" in the stylesheet template group.
