You shouldn't place your css into the application folder.

Take the css folder out, at the same level as index.php.
Then call it with

Code:

<?php echo base_url(); ?>css/style.css

The reason it's not working is probably because of the .htaccess file in the application folder.

Small suggestion.

In the root directory set up an "assets" folder and in that folder put "images", "css", and "js" folders. That way in your main .htaccess file you will only need to specify the "assets" folder like below.

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

It also de-clutters your root folder.
