CodeIgniter PDO database driver not working

Question

I\'m trying to use the PDO MySQL driver in my CodeIgniter application. This is my database config:

$active_group = \'default\';
$active_record = TRUE;

$db[\         


        

Answer 1

On file /application/config/database.php where is

$db['default']['hostname'] = 'localhost';

must be

$db['default']['hostname'] = 'mysql:host=localhost';

localhost or your database host.
