html - Sprockets::FileNotFound...could not find css file -


i have code has worked similar iteration of site previously, running against error...

sprockets::filenotfound in quarterback#index 

with detail of...

couldn't find file '../../../../xoi_f/app/assets/stylesheets/public.css' under '/users/charlie/sites/xoi_g/app/assets/stylesheets' type 'text/css' 

the file public.css in fact exist, , in application.css file, have requirements...

 *  *= require_self  *= require ../../../../xoi_f/app/assets/stylesheets/public.css  *= require ../../../../xoi_f/app/assets/stylesheets/admin.css  *= require_tree .  */ 

and in admin.html.erb file, have link tag

<head>     <title>xoi admin | <%= @page_title || "admin" %></title>     <%= stylesheet_link_tag('application', :media => 'all') %> </head> <body>     <div id="header"> 

but doesn't seem finding .css file.

very appreciate feedback.

@papirtiger, correct. i'm new this, , learned how use version control. prior using version control, made copies of entire project learning. that's when additional directory info must have been added.

so simplifying info worked:

 *= require_self  *= require public  *= require admin  *= require_tree .  */ 

so learn! appreciate patience rookie moves!
