Unable to access stylesheets in codeigniter
<p>I am new to the CodeIgniter, however when i try to link bootstrap files to my project blank(white) screen appears.</p>

<pre><code>     &lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="&lt;?php echo base_url("assets/css/bootstrap.min.css");?&gt;" &gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I put all bootstrap files inside assets folder which is in the same level as root directories as follows </p>

<blockquote>
  <ul>
  <li><strong>application</strong>                                              </li>
  <li><strong>assets</strong>  
  
  <ul>
  <li><strong>css</strong>  
  
  <ul>
  <li><strong>bootstrap.min.css</strong></li>
  </ul></li>
  </ul></li>
  <li><strong>system</strong></li>
  </ul>
</blockquote>

<p>I tried alternative such as</p>

<pre><code>&lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="&lt;?=base_url();?&gt;assets/css/bootstrap.min.css" &gt;
</code></pre>

<p>And</p>

<pre><code>&lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="&lt;?php echo link_tag("assets/css/bootstrap.min.css")?&gt;" &gt;
</code></pre>

<p>none of these seems to work, what should i do? someone help me please!</p>
