When Adding Bootstrap CSS via the functions.php File I get a server error. What am I doing wrong?

The other themes work just fine so I know its not wordpress or my local server. Here is my code:

FUNCTIONS.PHP <?php

function theme_styles() {

    wp_enqueue_style( 
        'bootstrap_css', 
        get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/bootstrap.min.css' 
    );

}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_styles' );

?>

HEADER.PHP <? php wp_head(); ?>

Thanks

The code looks correct to me. Maybe double check your css folder and make sure that bootstrap.min.css is actually in there.

Not much to be more specific. It takes me to a blank white screen that just says "server error"

Has Wordpress loaded correctly in the past? It sounds like it's not now. I'd check and make sure both Apache and MySQL are running.
