Favicon not displayed

I've tried including the favicon in different ways.

<link rel="icon" href="<?=base_url()?>favicon.ico">

<link href="favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" />

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/codeigniter/favicon.ico">

The favicon dosen't show up and when I inspect the page source and navigate to the favicon I get a 404. Am I missing some sort of configuration with codeigniter?

I've had a look at that question and the answers don't solve my problem. – Anon
have you cleared your browser cache ? Try other browsers as well – CMPS
tried both with no luck. – Anon
<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="<?php echo base_url()."images/icon2.ico"?>"> – Kedar B

try this:

<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="codeigniter/favicon.ico">

all browsers should work without setting the type as image/x-icon with the exception of IE6 and 7, which look for the type.

The icon might also only show up when on a webhost, and not when run locally.

Set base_url properly first...then try this.. 

<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href=<?php echo base_url()."static/images/favicon.ico"?>>
