Hi, just curious if there im missing something here,

Im using wamp on my pc while i learn CI, I just got to the database part and I cant seem to connect.

im getting this error:

A Database Error Occurred

Unable to connect to your database server using the provided settings.

Code:

$db['default']['hostname'] = "localhost";
$db['default']['username'] = "root";
$db['default']['password'] = "";
$db['default']['database'] = "mytest";
$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";

autoload.php

Code:

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

i noticed there is no Database.php file in th elibraries directory, should there be?
