Answer 1

I had the same trouble. Since I use xampp and I was running my codeigniter app locally, the problem at the end I solved it by remplacing: 'hostname' => 'localhost ' by 'hostname' => '127.0.0.1:33065' the :33065 is the port assigned by default by xampp for phpmyadmin. If you are running your proyect in the xampp default options, changing this, should be enough (hopefully). But if you don´t, I guess, you can search which port you are using for the database conection, and add it to your hostname with ":" (if you are not sure which port you are using, you always can see in your D.B. administration tool -phpmyadmin or the one you are using- on the options, which port is taking).
