CodeIgniter Database Connection Issue

Question

I'm using CodeIgniter, and I'm not able to use my database with it. I'm following this tutorial exactly, but when I open in localhost I receive a 404 page.

Answer 1

You need to set up your application/config/database.

Here you need to add your information for your database.

$active_group = "default";
$active_record = TRUE;

$db['default']['hostname'] = "localhost";
$db['default']['username'] = "yourdbusername";
$db['default']['password'] = "password_for_db";
$db['default']['database'] = "name_of_db";
$db['default']['dbdriver'] = "mysql";
$db['default']['dbprefix'] = "";
$db['default']['pconnect'] = TRUE;
$db['default']['db_debug'] = TRUE;
$db['default']['cache_on'] = FALSE;
$db['default']['cachedir'] = "";
$db['default']['char_set'] = "utf8";
$db['default']['dbcollat'] = "utf8_general_ci";

Have you done it?
