Codeigniter css not loading

I have a big problem with css and codeigniter.. I am starting to think it is my permissions or am I going mad?

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>

<title>test</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>/css/style.css" 
     type="text/css" media="screen"/>
</head>

<body>

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

This is my header file, and as you can see i've even echoed it out just to make sure it is right and it is, when I view source of the page it seems fine.. but somehow it is not doing anything, this is my css just to show you the background should be gray:

body{

background: #b6b6b6;
margin 0;
padding 0;
font-family: arial;
 }

my base url is fine.. as it is echoed out and goes to the right place $config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/block/application';

I am really going mad what could be going wrong?

Deny from all

After trying so many things, what actually worked for me is to place the assets folder in the root directory NOT the application directory

you can use 

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>css/style.css" 
type="text/css" media="screen"/>

or 

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

you must take the css folder or file and put it in the root directory not the application directory and use base_url function as i stated below

<link href="<?php echo base_url();?>site.css"

Don't have an htacess file with Deny From All in any resource folders.

You need to seperate out the css folder from the applications folder.

If you want base_url() to output the proper url, simply pass in the path as a parameter.

base_url('path/to/stylesheet.css');

Add another / in your link /css/style.css

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>/css/style.css" 
 type="text/css" media="screen"/>

If your base_url() gives you http://localhost/block/application then the path to the css file will look like http://localhost/block/applicationcss/style.css, I think it should be http://localhost/block/application/css/style.css, so you're missing a /

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>/css/style.css" 
    type="text/css" media="screen"/>
