autoload the database class issue

[eluser]Mavrick[/eluser]
Hello Every one....


I am new to Codeigniter and looking for some help here... I have IIS installed on port 80. And my wamp localhost is accessible to me via port 81 (i.e. localhost:81). Now the problem is when I try to load my database through my controller...

Code:

$this->load->model('DBModel', '', TRUE);
$this->DBModel->insertURLMetaData();

And my DBModel is yet empty except for

Code:

class DBModel extends CI_Model {
        
        function __construct() {
            parent::__construct();
            echo 'Model Constructor';
        }
        
        function insertURLMetaData() {
            echo '<br /> insertURLMetaData';
        }
        
    }

Though I had configured the database.php file in config folder which is :

Code:

$active_group = 'default';
$active_record = TRUE;

$db['default']['hostname'] = 'localhost:81';
$db['default']['username'] = 'root@localhost';
$db['default']['password'] = '';
$db['default']['database'] = 'db';
$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';
$db['default']['swap_pre'] = '';
$db['default']['autoinit'] = TRUE;
$db['default']['stricton'] = FALSE;


/* End of file database.php */
/* Location: ./application/config/database.php */

Can any one tell me here what am I doing wrong? Cause I can smell something fishy here. hut:

Thanks in advance,

Hostname refers to host of your Database server not your http server.

try with

Code:

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

for the db password i believe is should be just: root, not: root@localhost.
