Blank page with PostgreSQL

[eluser]NachoF[/eluser]
Im having a problem connecting to database... on my localhost I cant connect to postgresql database but I can connect just fine to my mysql database.... when I try with postgre I get a blank page immediately... here are my two configs so you can see exactly what I changed.
This works

Code:

$db['default']['hostname'] = "localhost";
$db['default']['username'] = "root";
$db['default']['password'] = "12345";
$db['default']['database'] = "mydatabase";
$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";

This doesnt

Code:

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

$db['default']['hostname'] = "localhost";
$db['default']['username'] = "postgres";
$db['default']['password'] = "12345";
$db['default']['database'] = "mydatabase";
$db['default']['dbdriver'] = "postgre";
$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";

I wish it could at least give me some kind of error

My setup is Windows 7 with XAMPP and PostgreSQl (PGadmin works just fine)

A blank page usually suggests a PHP error with error_reporting() turned off. Check your webserver error log to see what the error was...

[eluser]NachoF[/eluser]
well, error reporting is turned on by default in CI... and I am able to get some errors if I purposely mistype something...also, error.log doesnt show anything new after I load the site...

Remember that it works just fine with mysql just not with postgre....

dont know if its got something to do with the fact that I had some troubles installing postgre but its working fine now (at least pgadmin)

Maybe I have to edit something in my php.ini file?? Im using latest xampp (php 5..3) and newest CI

Hi NachoF,

have you looked at the access permissions for your PostgreSQL database? They're stored in pg_hba.conf.

Hi,
Have you enable pgsql in xampp ? I don't use it, I user wamp instead and postgres is not enabled by default. Try to locate extension=php_pdo_pgsql.dll and extension=php_pgsql.dll in the php.ini.
If you have "unable to load librairy" error, it means you don't have the dll installed.
