Database Error while connecting from Localhost

Make sure you're connecting using localhost details. Usually:

Host: localhost
User: root
Pass:

Thanks Jay, I did try that. It looks like my database connection has been customized. Here's what my `database.php` file looks like.....it's not setup as an array (image also attached):

Code:

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

  $db['default']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
  $db['default']['username'] = 'root';
  $db['default']['password'] = '';
  $db['default']['database'] = 'database_name'; // contains actual name
  $db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'mysqli';
  $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;
