[I apologize to the members of this list for the lack of context as the other half of this conversation has been sent to me 
off-list.]

That particular project works fine with the IDE's embedded http server. However, it does not work as expected on either Apache 
or Lighttpd web servers.

It appears that the files, linked in the WebPage using <%=Application.Root%>, are provided to the server by the Gambas 
executable (eg. the path for style.css in the project's Public directory is <Document_Root>/webapp.gambas/style.css).

This does not work on the web servers, apparently, due to what the executable is providing to the server as hinted at by this 
browser console error message:
The stylesheet http://localhost:8888/~user/webapp.gambas/style.css was not loaded because its MIME type, “text/html”, is not 
“text/css”.

Indeed, what the server is receiving is the actual HTML of the page itself as can be seen by the attached pic.


I think it is a bug. But, I could be wrong.

P.S. Hans, the questions you ask me privately are more appropriately posed to this list. In that way, the community can benefit 
from the discussion and solution. There is no reason for you to contact me off-list. I am not your personal consultant.
