CodeIgniter: Display custom view instead of 'Database Error' message

Question

How Can I show a custom view instead of the generic error attached in cases of the database going down unexpectedly?

In applications folder there is a folder named errors. There are all error files which comes up when an error is occurred.

When database error is occured, error_db.php file is shown in browser. You can edit it or replace that with your custom file.

Hope this helps.

@ankitsuthar if you are not seeing errors folder in application/views folder it means you are using CodeIgniter version 2.x. It will be available in CI 3.x versions.

You should set $db_debug = FALSE; in your config database settings on your production server - you should NEVER show a raw database error message to your users, as it is a massive security risk
