HTACCESS line preventing loading CSS

Question

Rapid question, I'm using this line:

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/? index.php?url=$1 [L,QSA]

which I took from another post and now my CSS file won't show anything.

This is the structure:

.
+-- .htaccess
+-- assets
|   +-- style.css
|   +-- images
+-- index.php

And there are other files but they're irrelevant.

You shouldn't take any line and just paste it in your environment to see what happens. You should try to write your own. If it doesn't work, then ask for help in SO. This way, you'll learn. — Jordi Nebot

I get what it does, I just don't get the regex part and how I can fix it — nick

You are missing 2 things:

Replace your code with this:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .+ index.php?url=$0 [L,QSA]

Also if you are using relative paths for your css/js/images then you can add this just below <head> section of your page's HTML:

<base href="/" />

so that every relative URL is resolved from that base URL and not from the current page's URL.
