.Less file extension not compiled

Question

It works great, but unfortunately my web host does not support .less file extensions... When I enter example.com/styles.less gives an error.

Error:

The page cannot be found The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

When I upload another hosting everything is okay...

My include:

<link rel="stylesheet/less" type="text/css" href="styles.less">
<script src="less.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Answer 1

You should be able to change the extension to .css (or something else that your webhost allows) and it still should work. To the best of my knowledge, less.js is just looking at rel="stylesheet/less".

This seems to be consistent with the documentation: http://lesscss.org/#-client-side-usage
