Question

I have a set of codeigniter files, (full application) with me. But i dont have a datadump.

I created an empty database and now I need codeigniter to scaffold the database by creating all the needed tables and columns of them.

my database settings looks like this.

$db['default']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
$db['default']['username'] = 'root';
$db['default']['password'] = '';
$db['default']['database'] = 'databasename';
$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';
$db['default']['swap_pre'] = '';
$db['default']['autoinit'] = TRUE;
$db['default']['stricton'] = FALSE;

This is the current output i get when i access the site.

Error Number: 1146

Table ‘databasename.ci_sessions’ doesn’t exist

INSERT INTO ci_sessions (session_id, ip_address, user_agent,
last_activity, user_data) VALUES
(‘1dc9905a9c9acbd267163bf99793bd30’, ‘127.0.0.1’, ‘Mozilla/5.0

You need to create the session database table manually.

See the “Saving Session Data to a Database” section on the User Guide

Edit: This is because you have configured it to save session data in the database ($config['sess_use_database'] = TRUE;)
