Answer 1

According to CodeIgniter's Database Configuration page,

For the PDO driver, you should change the 'hostname => 'localhost'' to "'hostname' => mysql:host=localhost" like below:

$db['default'] = array(
    'dsn'   => '',
    'hostname' => 'mysql:host=localhost',
    'username' => 'root',
    'password' => '',
    'database' => 'database_name',
    'dbdriver' => 'pdo',
    'dbprefix' => '',
    'pconnect' => FALSE,
    'db_debug' => (ENVIRONMENT !== 'production'),
     .....
     .....
);
