i am getting the following error :

Unable to connect to your database server using the provided settings.

Filename: core/Loader.php

Line Number: 346

my database.php is :

$db['default']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
$db['default']['username'] = 'usertest';
$db['default']['password'] = '';
$db['default']['database'] = 'usertest';
$db['default']['port']     = '5433';
$db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'postgre';
$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;

What is the possible solution. I do not want to $db['default']['db_debug'] = FALSE; as even after doing this i am still not able to connect to db.

EDIT : Changed the port to 5432. still it doesnt work

Are you sure postgres is on port 5433? try telnet localhost 5433 from command line and see if you get a blank screen. –  user20232359723568423357842364 Jul 16 '13 at 20:31
    
Same question, Posgres's default port is 5432. –  Hieu Nguyen Jul 16 '13 at 21:50

Set Set $db['default']['pconnect'] = FALSE; and check once again.

Check your db driver name. I am pretty sure it is "postgres" and not "postgre."
