Database error 1064

i added a ci_session table to my database with the code i found in the codeigniter user guide. i then changed the session driver to database and added a function to my model_user.php to set session anytime a user finishes registering.i also tried bacticking the table name and columns in the sql query i used in my set_session function . i then tried loading my registration form and this is what i got:

A Database Error Occurred
Error Number: 1064

Hi

I had a similar issue a while ago. I think just make sure the DB table is empty fixed it for me. Hope this helps. Sorry to be so vague!

Hello! 

As you can see from the query, CodeIgniter doesn't know how is your table named. Open your application/config/config.php, then add the following line:

PHP Code:

$config['sess_save_path'] = 'ci_sessions'; 


Hope this helps!

In config.php file, look for $config['sess_save_path'] and replace NULL with your session table name.

Keep calm.
