database related problem

If all else fails then dab this debug test code onto the end of:

// ./application/config/database.php

Code:

// /*
  echo '<pre>';
    print_r($db['default']);
  echo '</pre><br />';

  echo 'Connecting to database: ' .$db['default']['database'];

  $dbh=mysql_connect
  (
    $db['default']['hostname'],
    $db['default']['username'],
    $db['default']['password'])
    or die('Cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error()
  );
  
  mysql_select_db ($db['default']['database']);
    
  echo '<br />Connected OK:';
