title: Codeigniter and Bootstrap using WAMP-> forbidden Access
body: <p>Im a newbie working with CodeIgniter/Bootstrap/WAMP. I'm having problems with accessing the folder outside the application folder. Ive wasted several hours trying to fix the issue but to no avail. Have I missed something? Here's what I've done so far.</p>
  
  <p>file directory</p>
  
  <pre><code> www/myapp/application
   www/myapp/system
  
  
   www/myapp/components
             components/css
             components/js
             components/images
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>What I have done</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>edit the config.php
        $config['rewrite_short_tags'] =TRUE;
  
  set the autoload.php
        $autoload['helper'] = array('url');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>template.php</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
  
  &lt;html&gt;
      &lt;head&gt;
          &lt;title&gt;PM with BAM&lt;/title&gt;
          &lt;meta name ="viewport" content="width = device-width, initial-scale=1.0"&gt;
          &lt;link href="&lt;?php echo base_url();?&gt;components/css/bootstrap.css" rel ="stylesheet" media="screen"&gt; 
      &lt;/head&gt;    
      &lt;body&gt;
          &lt;script src="&lt;?php echo base_url();?&gt;components/js/bootstrap.js"&gt; &lt;/script&gt;
      &lt;/body&gt;
  
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried deleting the .htaccess file in the application and system folder but im still getting the same error.</p>
  
  <p>I already read some examples and related questions but nothings works.
  Any help?</p>
