  • 0

I am trying to use the sqlite database with codeigniter. I created a table in it and then loaded the database in the config file as;

$db['default']['hostname'] = '';
$db['default']['username'] = '';
$db['default']['password'] = '';
$db['default']['database'] = '';
$db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'sqlite';
$db['default']['dbprefix'] = '';

And autoloaded the db library in autoload.php but the view that I render from the controller is blank even does not display any error. When I do not autoload this file then the viw renders correctly. I am not sure what is the problem here.

    CI2 has changed a few bits. First of all you need the sqlite protocol and path in the ‘hostname’ parameter, and you need to set the dbdriver as ‘pdo’. Oh, and you obviously need the PDO sqlite driver installed on the server:

    $db['default']['hostname'] = 'sqlite:/var/my.db';
$db['default']['username'] = '';
$db['default']['password'] = '';
$db['default']['database'] = '';
$db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'pdo';
$db['default']['dbprefix'] = '';

    There is also a bug in the release I downloaded which casuses DB errors to be thrown incorrectly. If you have this, google the output with PDO exception and you should find the bug. Hope that helps.
