Hi,

I'm trying to set up wamp at home, but getting this error message:

Quote:Unable to connect to your database server using the provided settings.
Filename: C:\xampp\htdocs\websitename\system\database\DB_driver.php

Already checked config/database.php, a post elsewhere suggesting setting pconnect to false, so tried that too, but it didnt help. Also double-checked username/password details and db name, all correct (although not submitted here)
Other than host,user,pwd,db, and now pconnect, the rest are the default settings.

Code:
$db['default']['hostname'] = 'localhost';

$db['default']['username'] = 'username';

$db['default']['password'] = 'password';

$db['default']['database'] = 'dbname';

$db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'mysql';

$db['default']['dbprefix'] = '';

$db['default']['pconnect'] = FALSE;

$db['default']['db_debug'] = TRUE;

$db['default']['cache_on'] = FALSE;

$db['default']['cachedir'] = '';

$db['default']['char_set'] = 'utf8';

$db['default']['dbcollat'] = 'utf8_general_ci';

$db['default']['swap_pre'] = '';

$db['default']['autoinit'] = TRUE;

$db['default']['stricton'] = FALSE;

Any suggestions please?
Any ideas gratefully received.

Thanks! Smile
