Hi, After installing the Starter kit, I noticed that all static files (JS, CSS) return 404 on localhost. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/getkirby/original/2X/3/36193fb99f6ad689e8d5e21966212a0564542528.png) The page loads just fine (minus the styling). As the same happens with the installation I just bought, I suspect this to be a server issue. The problem is, I have no idea where to look, but maybe this information is of some help: - Kirby: 3.6.1.1 - Wampserver 3.2.6 - PHP 8.1.0 - Apache 2.4.39 - Windows 10 Any suggestions are highly welcome! Cheers, Stefan ---

Does the error with the assets only exist on subpages or also on the home page? ---

The same issue appears on the home page. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/getkirby/original/2X/d/d794d53005dbd264305ec3fd36988877f036488f.jpeg) ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/getkirby/original/2X/7/75353c6b895dd8db8a74cd76d3cb170a0056a145.png) Could it be that I have to install some Apache module to display these files? ---

Is the `/assets` folder and subfolders/files readable? Does the Panel work? ---

The Panel works fine, too. As for the `/assets` folder, yes, I think it’s readable: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/getkirby/original/2X/0/015f2981e2110ef1ca68d6bfbe9f420da2e77334.png) ---

But why are the assets inside the `site` folder in your project? Did you move that folder there? The assets folder must be in the project’s root. Standard folder structure after downloading Starterkit: ![Bildschirmfoto 2021-12-12 um 14.48.36](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/getkirby/original/2X/c/cbbca30c8913c4fc79947faea4e2c62f5c36efe5.png) Direct access to the site folder is locked by `.htaccess` settings for security reasons. ---

Wow, you are right. I don’t recall having moved the folder, but apparently I must have… only to repeat the same mistake in my installation, where I added `/assets` later. Thank you so much for pointing me to my mistake. Everything’s working fine, now Cheers, Stefan
