$db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/databasename';

At line 92.  If I change it to mysqli at the front the database is not 
found and a red warning message appears in the Drupal page.

It just says...

 Database name: *
Database username: *

The stars are in a yellow colour suggesting that there is not a 
username or a database name of the sort that I specify.  But, I have 
checked MySQL once again and it does have the correct password and 
username.  

Bit of a mystery :)
