Set background image using css don't load the background image

Question

I get a console error when I try to set a background image using CSS.

My CSS code is:

body {

background-image: url("background.png");
background-repeat: no-repeat;}

The error

GET http://localhost/myWeb/css/background.png 403 (Forbidden).

The CSS file and the image are in the same location.

Looks like an access issue. Make sure that IIS has an access to this file. — Yeldar Kurmangaliyev

actually, it is a correct answer. My case the png file permission was -rw-------, after I changed to -rwxr-xr-x, it worked.
