MySql database in localhost

[eluser]gcanizal[/eluser]
Hi!

I am trying to connect to a databse in my localhost from CodeIgniter. I have followed manual steps and this is my configuration in database.php

Code:

$active_group = "gto_db";
$active_record = TRUE;


$db['gto_db']['hostname'] = "localhost";
$db['gto_db']['username'] = "root";
$db['gto_db']['password'] = "gu1ll3rm0";
$db['gto_db']['database'] = "gto";
$db['gto_db']['dbdriver'] = "mysql";
$db['gto_db']['dbprefix'] = "";
$db['gto_db']['pconnect'] = TRUE;
$db['gto_db']['db_debug'] = TRUE;
$db['gto_db']['cache_on'] = FALSE;
$db['gto_db']['cachedir'] = "";
$db['gto_db']['char_set'] = "utf8";
$db['gto_db']['dbcollat'] = "utf8_general_ci";
$db['gto_db']['port'] = 3306; // I have also tried without the port

If I load the database in autoload.php nothing is shown in the screen and this is what I can see in the log file:

Code:

Any idea about what am I doing wrong?

I am using Windows Vista and I can access the database with the Administrator tool.

Thank you in advance.

config looks okay. the only suggestion i would make is to use the admin tool to create a new user with whatever rights you wish and try to logon using that user rather than root which is what you have at present
