I'm following the tutorial on devshed, but when I go to "http://localhost/ci/index.php/helloworld/". I get the error, "
A Database Error Occurred

Unable to connect to your database server using the provided settings.
".

These are the settings that I have in databases.php:

$db['default']['hostname'] = "localhost";
$db['default']['username'] = "root";
$db['default']['password'] = "root";
$db['default']['database'] = "mydatabase";
$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";

I went to phpMyAdmin in wamp and added the mydatabase mysql database and tried to add a password, but after that happened. It said a password was not set for mydatabase.

Can anyone tell me how to set this up in wamp correctly?

Try connecting without the password then
There is no password by default with XAMPP either, and it works fine without it

Now I get this error:

An Error Was Encountered

Unable to load the requested file: helloworld.php

You need to create the helloworld.php. Particularly, which devshed tutorial are you talking about?

I'm on this part. http://www.devshed.com/c/a/PHP/Introduct...amework/3/

I put the helloworld.php under the controllers folder with this code.

Code:
&lt;?php

class HelloWorld extends Controller{

function HelloWorld(){

// load controller parent

parent::Controller();

}

function index(){

$data['title']='My first application created with Code Igniter';

$data['message']='Hello world!';

// load 'helloworld' view

$this->load->view('helloworld',$data);

}

}

?&gt;

And under the views folder, I put this in the index.html file:

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

    &lt;title&gt;&lt;?php echo $title;?&gt;&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

<h1>&lt;?php echo $message?&gt;</h1>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

Still no go.

you'll need to have a helloworld.php file in the views folder. Copy that content in a helloworld.php file.

Copy only this

I'm guessing you misunderstood what bargainph said, you should rename the view to helloword.php, not copy the helloworld.php controller

Edit: Darn it, beat by Bargainph
