problem loading database in v1.6.1

[eluser]phybertek[/eluser]
Hello,

Once I modifiy the autoload.php file and add database support, I get a blank page. If I remove this from the autoload.php file, my code shows up fine.

$autoload['libraries'] = array('database');

My database modifications are as such:

$active_group = "default";
$active_record = TRUE;

$db['default']['hostname'] = "localhost";
$db['default']['username'] = "test";
$db['default']['password'] = "test";
$db['default']['database'] = "blog";
$db['default']['dbdriver'] = "mysql";
$db['default']['dbprefix'] = "";
$db['default']['pconnect'] = TRUE;
$db['default']['db_debug'] = TRUE;
$db['default']['cache_on'] = FALSE;
$db['default']['cachedir'] = "";
$db['default']['char_set'] = "utf8";
$db['default']['dbcollat'] = "utf8_general_ci";


Is this a bug?
