CodeIgniter local database connection issue

I have tried this to make local database connection. But it gives this error:

You have specified an invalid database connection group (ci_test) in your config/database.php file.

$db['default'] = array(
    'dsn'   => '',
    'hostname' => 'localhost',  // pass this
    'username' => 'root',  // pass this
    'password' => '',  // pass this
    'database' => 'ci_test',  // pass this
    'dbdriver' => 'mysqli',
    'dbprefix' => '',
    'pconnect' => TRUE,
    'db_debug' => TRUE,
    'cache_on' => FALSE,
    'cachedir' => '',
    'char_set' => 'utf8',
    'dbcollat' => 'utf8_general_ci',
    'swap_pre' => '',
    'encrypt' => FALSE,
    'compress' => FALSE,
    'stricton' => FALSE,
    'failover' => array());

$active_group = 'default';
$query_builder = TRUE;


$db['default'] = array(

'dsn'   => '',
'hostname' => 'localhost', //this will be same
'username' => 'root',  //replace with your username
'password' => '',       //replace with your password
'database' => 'test',   //replace with your database name which you want to use
'dbdriver' => 'mysqli',
'dbprefix' => '',
'pconnect' => FALSE,
'db_debug' => (ENVIRONMENT !== 'production'),
'cache_on' => FALSE,
'cachedir' => '',
'char_set' => 'utf8',
'dbcollat' => 'utf8_general_ci',
'swap_pre' => '',
'encrypt' => FALSE,
'compress' => FALSE,
'stricton' => FALSE,
'failover' => array(),
'save_queries' => TRUE);

try this. good luck.

You can try this solution for your problem.

$active_group = 'default';
$query_builder = TRUE;

$db['default'] = array(
    'dsn'   => '',
    'hostname' => 'localhost',
    'username' => 'root',
    'password' => 'root',
    'database' => 'ci_test',
    'dbdriver' => 'mysqli',
    'dbprefix' => '',
    'pconnect' => FALSE,
    'db_debug' => (ENVIRONMENT !== 'production'),
    'cache_on' => FALSE,
    'cachedir' => '',
    'char_set' => 'utf8',
    'dbcollat' => 'utf8_general_ci',
    'swap_pre' => '',
    'encrypt' => FALSE,
    'compress' => FALSE,
    'stricton' => FALSE,
    'failover' => array(),
    'save_queries' => TRUE
);

I hope this will helps you. Thanks!

This error relates to the connection group, not the database name. The connection group you have specified there is default, as shown on the first line: $db['default'].

Look for:

$active_group = 'ci_test';

Replace it with:

$active_group = 'default';

There is more information in the codeigniter documentation.
