First time setting up a Yeoman app. I think I understand how bower works... but my app seems to be having trouble finding jquery.js (and perhaps other libraries).

The console message is

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) [localhost]/bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.js

which seems pretty straightforward... it's not linking up properly (duh). I went back into the directory structure of my app, and it looks like there are two /bower_components/ folders.

One of the folders (the one outside of the /app/ directory) only has a jquery folder. The other one (inside the /app/ directory) has all of my libraries and goodies (coffee-script, jquery, ember, etc...).

First: Are there supposed to be two /bower_components/ folders (one for production and one for local perhaps)?

Second: How can I get my app to grab the js from the correct folder?

EDIT:

Please unmark as duplicate. I already saw that question. My .bowerrc file is pointing to the correct directory.

{
    "directory": "app/bower_components"
}

You likely have a global .bowerrc. Check for one in ~/, which specifies:

{
    "directory": "bower_components"
}

Get rid of that file and see if it helps!
