after copying website from ftp to a localhos - no css

[McLaren]

Hi,

this is weird. I copied a website my computer from ftp, then to the other folder of my computer. Try to go to localhost/darzelis - and see a content without styling.

Checked google chrome console:

Resource interpreted as Stylesheet but transferred with MIME type text/html. FreshMedia.css:-1

When I view the source, I see:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="localhost/darzelis/images/FreshMedia.css" type="text/css" />

It looks that everything is ok..

Why is that, I cannot understand.

Edit:
I developed that website using localhost and everything worked, then uploaded to ftp. And now downloaded and there is no css.

I changed the include line to

<link rel="stylesheet" href="images/FreshMedia.css" type="text/css" />

and it works. But its interesting why it did work when there was full url and on localhhost does not..

[McLaren]

no, actually it does not work.. It only works for home page, but when I go to different page, there is no css againg. What can there be?

And at the same time the link works somehow not well. I check the source code - the link is such and ok:

<a href="localhost/darzelis/darbuotojai">Darbuotojai</a>

When I click on that link, it goes to

http://localhost/darzelis/localhost/darzelis/darbuotojai

I understand nothing :D what the hell is that? :)

You actually have a folder named localhost?? That can be confusing, since your local URL is localhost. Personally I wouldn't have a folder named that.

As a rule I generally keep my stylesheets in a folder called styles, or even in the root of the html files I'm linking too. ie

<link href="rlb.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

I'm sure you problem has to do with defining the relative path incorrectly.

No, I don't have a folder name 'localhost'. The website is in folder 'darzelis'. I found that css works now when I use relative path for valid urls, those links confused me. When I went to such

http://localhost/darzelis/localhost/darzelis/darbuotojai

then style was gone, but actually there is no such URL, so it just shows a message but without styling (it should still show wtih styiling). When I go to existing url, then styling is ok.

But still I don't get why it goes to a wrong url when I click on link :/ even when I mouse over the link, at the bottom of the browser I see the wrong link. But in source code I check and the link is ok :/

I guess I found the problem. This is sick. There is a config file where I have to enter a sites base_url. So when I dowloaded the website, I changed it to

$config['base_url'] = "localhost/darzelis/";

But I had to chancge to

$config['base_url'] = "http://localhost/darzelis/";

I don't even know what to say :D How such stupid http:// can mean so much? This is codeigniter framework 1.7.3, why doesn't it throw some error that there is no http:// in base_url ? Ok, in 2.0 version I don't even need this, it automatically detects a url.

And for css I had to use full path, otherwise it does not see css in some of the pages

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url()?>images/FreshMedia.css" type="text/css" />
