Before being able to use the DB class, we need to modify a specific configuration file.

The config file is located in /fuel/app/config/development/db.php Change the following

            

                
    return array(
        'default' => array(
            'connection'  => array(
                'dsn'        => 'mysql:host=faure.cs.colostate.edu;dbname={ EID }',
                'username'   => '{ EID }',
                'password'   => '{CSU ID}',
            ),
        ),
    );
                
            
            

If you can successfully access the MySQL server with these credentials, Fuel shouldn't have an issue doing the same.

I duplicated my basic form example and it now uses my database rather than a data text file. Download it from here to follow along!
