title: No CSS working in my Rails 4 app
body: <p>I am running Rails 4.1.8 on Windows 7 64-bit. Editor is RubyMine.</p>
  
  <p>I had some elementary Bootstrap styling going (table-striped, buttons) but the glyphicons were not working. I tried to switch to bootstrap-sass and messed things up, so... </p>
  
  <p>I am now trying to get back to pure use of bootstrap without the sass complication or any gems. I can't seem to make use of the styles in bootstrap.min, however.</p>
  
  <p>In fact, <em>nothing</em> from my css files is getting applied to my pages.</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/vEdMN.png" alt="My assets folders"></p>
  
  <p>My application.css file contains:</p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="false" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-css lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>/*
  *= require bootstrap.min
  *= require_tree .
  *= require_self
   */
  
  @font-face {
    font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings';
    src: url('../fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot');
    src: url('../fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
    url('../fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff') format('woff'),
    url('../fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf') format('truetype'),
    url('../fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg#glyphicons_halflingsregular') format('svg');
  }</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
  </p>
  
  <p>I have uninstalled the bootstrap-sass and rails-sass gems, so I should be using only the css files local to the project.</p>
  
  <p>My Gemfile:</p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="false" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>source 'https://rubygems.org'
  
  ruby '2.1.5'

     gem 'unicorn'
  end</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
  </p>
  
  <p>I ran bundle update at one point (by mistake), so I have the latest version of everything. </p>
  
  <p>I have run bundle install several times, cleared the Firefox cache and restarted Firefox. </p>
  
  <p>I'm probably missing something basic after working on this for some hours now. Any help is appreciated. </p>
