mysqli::real_connect(): (HY000/1049): Unknown database error in codeigniter

Question

I\'m new to Codeigniter PHP framework. When I\'m testing my application I get \'Unknown database db_name\' error. I have browsed through several sites but didn\'t found solu

Answer 1

I was too getting this error. There are 2 fields in application/config/database.php file that should match up with your actual database:

'char_set' => 'utf8',
'dbcollat' => 'utf8_general_ci',

Make sure, the actual DB is of the same type & char_set as mentioned in the above file.
