CodeIgniter URI routing: remove route segment from base URL

Question

How do I remove a route segments from my base URL? For instance, I have these routes in my routes.php:

$route['default_controller'] = 'main_controller';
$route['users'] = 'user_controller';
$route['user/(:num)'] = 'main_controller/user/$1';

They all get routed normally, but in the view called by the user() method all of the generated links (for .js, .css, .png files, etc...) have user/ inserted betweem base URL localhost/domain_name and file path (e.g. css/style.css), so all of those links (as you would expect) return 404 and the page isn't formatted properly.

If you need more info on the code in question, just comment what you need and I'll add it. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: If it's any help, echo base_url(); in the view prints out http://localhost/domain_name/.

@Tpojka But now it doesn't prepend the base URL automatically? — Stefan Stanković

You have to set scheme prepended and also forward slash at the end in base url (i.e. $config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/domain_name/). — Tpojka

Have you set it and tried? You shouldn't experience issue with base_url correctly set. — Tpojka

This is one your comment: $config['base_url'] = 'localhost/domain_name'; which is not even close what I asked after seeing your comment. I am sharing my experience. If fully qualified URL path is not set, meaning scheme+host+path+trailing slash I was able to notice similar issues. Other thing you can check is browser cache: close all browser windows and try again but in private mode. That way you should be certain there ain't no caching pages. — Tpojka

add base_url before the script and css files. and specify the folder in which is kept.Like we have style.css file in assets/css folder

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

OK, this seemed to work, but I had to change the base url, as @Tpojka helpfully suggested. The problem was in the link I was testing it on (it was broken).
