CodeIgniter 4 Css and Js 404 and 403

Question

I had a running CI4 application and after some unfortunate events, I reinstalled the whole system on my server.

I was using Plesk on Centos 7, and now I and using Ubuntu 22.04. I created a subdomain, then uploaded my CI4 code. I modified my http.conf and append public to the document root.

Next, I checked my app/Config/App.php

public $baseURL = 'https://patron.berkyazilim.com/';

My home page loaded but CSS files were not found.

I checked, I am using

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?= base_url('css/style.default.css') ?>">

The file is available. But the file returns 404.

here my public/css

custom.css              style.default.css          style.green.min.css      style.pink.min.css.map  style.sea.css          style.violet.min.css
style.blue.css          style.default.min.css      style.green.min.css.map  style.red.css           style.sea.min.css      style.violet.min.css.map
style.blue.min.css      style.default.min.css.map  style.pink.css           style.red.min.css       style.sea.min.css.map
style.blue.min.css.map  style.green.css            style.pink.min.css       style.red.min.css.map   style.violet.css

I can load custom.css but style.default.css won't load.

https://patron.berkyazilim.com/css/style.default.css <- not loading

Here my .htaccess

Turns out one should not edit the HTTP config (Nginx or Apache) files that Plesk generates. For two reasons:

1. They won't work.
2. The files would be regenerated after each restart of the HTTP service.

Instead, just open your panel, go to Domains-> Hosting & DNS -> Hosting and there update your Document root.

Doing that solved the problem...
