I have created assets folder in codeigniter now my directory structure is as follows:

-application
-system
-assets
--images
---bg.jpg

Then I created a view `main_chat_app.php`

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

    &lt;body&gt;

     <img src="&lt;?php echo base_url('assets/images/bg.jpg');?&gt;"/>

     &lt;?php echo img('assets/images/bg.jpg'); ?&gt;

    &lt;/body&gt;

    &lt;/html&gt;

then loaded view in following `chat` controller

Code:
&lt;?php

    Class Chat extends CI_Controller

    {

     public function __construct()

     {

      parent::__construct();

     }

     public function index()

     {

      $this->load->view('main_chat_app');

     }

    }

    ?&gt;

In my `config.php`

Quote:$config['base_url']='http://localhost/127.0.0.1/CodeIgniter_2.1.4/index.php';

On my computer `port 80` was busy so I had to change it to `7777` in `httpd.config`
with these settings I usually access `chat` controller as mentioned below.

Quote:http://localhost/127.0.0.1:7777/CodeIgni.../index.php

(see I have to add `7777`)
Do I need to specify `7777` in the `base url` too in `config.php`

but despite of doing all this, images are still inaccessible.

base_url should NOT contain index.php. It is a location, not a file. index.php belongs in the "index_page" setting only.

Otherwise when you use base_url() and img() it will tack on index.php to the url because it's in your base_url (which is where it gets that value), which obviously doesn't work.
