Can't get my CSS to show

I've been trying to start building a website for the first time using CodeIgniter, and I can't seem to get my css to load. I've looked on a lot of sites and have tried to find the answer, but none seem to work so far.

Code:

<link href="<?php echo base_url('assets/css/style.css'); ?>" rel="stylesheet">

It directs to the location of the css file but when I press F12 to see the error, it says Error 404 not found.
My css folder is located here:
C:\xampp\htdocs\CI4\assets\css

Any help is appreciated
Thanks.

check your xampp setting for DocumentRoot

put asset folder in document root folder

Try echo base_url(); and ensure the config setting is working as expected.

1. test echo base_url(); 

2. change below
move folder assets into public

Code:

<link href="<?php echo base_url('public/assets/css/style.css'); ?>" rel="stylesheet">

Hi,
assuming you are using CI4 and a vhost for your website, whether you use /assets or php echo base_url('assets , your assets folder should be in the "public" folder which is the domain/vhost root, i think it would solve the issue
have a nice day

ci4
-- app
-- sytem
-- modules
-- public
---- assets
------ css
------ js
------ etc;

Add

type="text/css"
to your link tag

While this may no longer be necessary in modern browsers the HTML4 specification declared this a required attribute
