Image path not found

Followed it step by step and all worked as it should, but the url in the css is pointing to the right location but it doesnt display the sprite. If I inspect the icon url and change to "../img/icons-s2d60bc30dd.png" it works. the default output is "url('/img/icons-s2d60bc30dd.png')"

Hi Max,

Based on how the course goes and the URL that's been generated you have relative_assets set to false in your config.rb file, set that to true, restart the compass watcher and you should see ../ in your path instead of just a forward slash.
