Im planning to use bonfire on my current project so I have downloaded Bonfire for CodeIgniter and during the installation process it requires you to enter the database details like host, username, password, database, prefix

my project is currently using PDO ODBC in database configuration, and in my database config in my CI I have a path like odbc:Driver={Microsoft dBASE Driver (*.dbf)};DriverID=277;Dbq=... this actually works in my PLAIN CodeIgniter now while installing my Bonfire providing these details i get the error

The installer could not connect to the MySQL server or the database, be sure to enter the correct information.: Unknown MySQL server host 'odbc' (11001)

What does it mean? so is bonfire just for MySQL? Im sorry if you find these very simple. Since Im new to Bonfire

There is already odbc utility installed in bonfire see reference Bonfire odbc

Other way is have you tried directly entering database details in database.php which is located in bonfire\application\config\development

  • I've tried it, but still when I go ti `bonfire/install` I still get the page that requires me to provide db details, and Im stuck, I cant proceed since I think it just accepts `MySQL` host type – Þaw May 30 '13 at 09:26
