Hi prakashchand,

Can you please let me know how you have solved it? Same problem here.

If you redeployed  it after deleting the pub/static directory you would have deleted the .htaccess file in pub/static directory. That causes the URL Rewrite issue. Put the .htaccess with urlrewrite option in the pub/static directory , will resolve the problem.

After trying all these methods and getting no where besides the static folder, this works perfect first time using xampp:

 $ cd /var/www/html/magento2 - wamp

$ cd C:\xampp\htdocs\magento2 - xampp

 https://community.magento.com/t5/Installing-Magento-2-x/Magento-2-2-3-with-sample-data-install-seem-...

php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
php bin/magento cache:clean
php bin/magento cache:flush

 777 the directory commands didnt work though

2.2.3 now installed and operational front and back simple when you know how. Thanks!

indexers need update to:

cd C:\xampp\htdocs\magento2 - xampp

php bin/magento indexer:reindex

 then goto cache management in admin and flush selected.

css and js comes back but its not working properly

[itsolution]

Please follow these steps for load all js and css

windows users

$ cd /var/www/html/magento2

$ php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

$ php bin/magento indexer:reindex

and for linux users

follow above steps and now

$ chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/magento2

$ chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/magento2/ 
$ chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/magento2/var/
$ chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/magento2/pub/

 delete cache folder under var/cache

Step 5.

$ chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/magento2

I found out that it was pub/.htaccess file which is causing the problem.  You remove or rename that file to orig.htaccess, and give a try.

Or use the following .htaccess file:
