Okay, after wasting 3-4 days i finally figured what was wrongwith my project. I was using it on Windows 8.1 and therfore due to some unknown issues it was unable to support all static files. i tried to run my project on another system with Windows 7 and it was working perfectly fine. so here it is Windows 8.1 users can stop wasting time on following solutions provided on forums..
