Hello,

I’m having an issue with EE2.1.3 and CSS links not working on my localhost (Mac OSX 10.6.6 MAMP).  The problem seems to be related to a missing “/” when the cached version of the stylesheet is produced.

If I create a new template called _/includes/main_css and set it as filetype css, I can then view that stylesheet at:
http://localhost/mysite/index.php/?css=_includes/main_css

So far so good. 

However, if I look at the final rendered page, the CSS gets cached and a version number is appended.  Additionally, the “/” after index.php is taken out, so I end up with a URL like so:
http://localhost/mysite/index.php?css=_includes/main_css.v.1297702923 (notice the missing “/” after index.php)

The above URL does not work on my localhost.

However, if I add that slash back in manually like this, the stylesheet is displayed just fine:
http://localhost/mysite/index.php/?css=_includes/main_css.v.129770292

Has anyone else run into this problem?

Just to clarify, I am using the {stylesheet=template_group/css_template} method.  The {path=template_group/css_template} method works fine.

... so I end up with a URL like so:
http://localhost/mysite/index.php?css=_includes/main_css.v.1297702923 (notice the missing “/” after index.php)

That is expected behavior and should work. Are you removing index.php from your URLs or use mod_rewrite in some other way?

Yes, mod_rewrite is installed on my MAMP setup, but I am not using it to rewrite any URLs for this site.  I think it may have something to do with the way this version of MAMP runs PHP, I’m not sure.

In any case, I’ve reinstalled the site on my secondary localhost (native Apache install) and the {stylesheet=} tags work fine.

Thanks,
