Added Info : I tried it with the fresh install of the codeigniter, simply adding $this->load->database ( );
to the default controller triggers the same error.
I checked my phpinfo and the mysqli is installed. I checked it with the following code and it is working.
Still when I open one of my Codeigniter project, it shows error : A connection attempt failed, why ?
Does all this means there is something wrong with Codeigniter ?
<?php $mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "root", "", "myDatabase"); /* check connection */ if ($mysqli->connect_errno) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", $mysqli->connect_error); exit(); } /* check if server is alive */ if ($mysqli->ping()) { printf ("Our connection is ok!\n"); } else { printf ("Error: %s\n", $mysqli->error); } /* close connection */ $mysqli->close(); ?> /*** Results in : Our connection is ok! ***/
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: mysqli::real_connect(): (HY000/2002): A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
