Edit: You have not specified Height of that DIV element. Please specify height of that DIV element.

Answer 2

Try with base_url()

<div class="item active" style="background-image: url('<?php echo base_url() ;?>images/sliderbg1.jpg');">

Make sure your images folder is in root(Out side application Folder) of project.
