Editing the database configuration file

Setting up your database configuration is pretty darn easy, but before you start,
make sure your database server is running, that you have created a database for
your application, and that you have a username and password for a user with rights
to the database.
To start, make a copy of the app/config/database.php.default file and save it as
app/config/database.php. Do this to preserve a copy of the original template. Open
the file in your favorite text editor and look for the following section (it should be just
near the bottom of the file)
