I'm getting a blank screen when trying to connect to postgresql. is there anything wrong with this config ?

Code:

$active_group = "default";
$active_record = TRUE;
$db['default']['hostname'] = "localhost";
$db['default']['username'] = "postgres";
$db['default']['password'] = "mypassword";
$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 also autoload the database library :

Code:

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

oh i forgot i'm running windows using wamp with PHP 5.3 (WAMP)

i also enabled php_pgsql and php_pdo_pgsql extensions.

What am i missing ??

Do you know if you installed the php - postgresql lib? On Debian based systems:

Code:

sudo apt-get install php5-pgsql

This might help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/84248...indows-php

May I ask why you are trying to install postgresql if you are using WAMP (implying MySQL). Especially if you're new to PHP?

I have been using ASP.NET with MSSQL for a long time and now i'm looking for something new to learn that is why i chose CI and i didn't want to use MySQL because it has lot of limitations and postgresql seemed a better choise ...

In that case I would suggest just using MySQL: it's basically what the whole world is using anyway. The differences between MySQL-InnoDB and PostgreSQL aren't that great (yes I know some fanboy will probably flame me for this) at least not when you are just getting to grips with a new environment and a new language. The moment the differences do matter to you, you probably wont need to ask here how to set it up.
