I am trying to include a css file to my page. I have done this in my blade template:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('css/frontend.css')}}">
I then my css file in {laravel_root}/public/css/frontend.css
The resulting page outputs
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://hbnw.app/css/frontend.css">
But using chrome's development tools I see that upon request the server returns a 200 OK response but the file is empty.
I am running in a homestead environment. Do I need to do something with Laravel 5's routes or is there a completely different workflow for css? Could I just change the htaccess to return the files for all requests starting with /css and /js?

Thanks in advance.
