    Hi,

    I’ve recently upgraded from version v2.1.0 to v2.5.2 successfully apart from this one issue remaining. When trying to update the database config using the preferences in Database Settings, I get a:

    “Your database.php file seems to have a problem.  Unable to find the active group” Error

    When accessing the page initially to perform the update, neither of the options had a value. I can set the Enable Database Debugging option successfully when just setting this value but when I try to set the
    Persistent Database Connection option, that’s when I get the error.

    Looking through the code it seems that it can’t find the $db[‘expressionengine’][‘pconnect’] value to make the change.

    Any help would be great

    Any help would be appreciated as it’s the last issue remaining before the update goes live
