CDbConnection failed to open the DB

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

Hello, maybe someone can help me with this problem I’m having;

When trying to use Yiic command line shell to create the model (model *) it outputs the following error:

exception ‘CDbException’ with message ‘CDbConnection failed to open the DB’

I can not figure out what’s happening, not only mysql pdo is there, I can do the following in my index.php:

$db = Yii::app()->db;

$command=$db->createCommand(‘select * from Alu’);

$rows = $command->queryAll();

print_r($rows[0]);

and it works just fine

Don’t know what to try :unsure:

Something?

thanks

Juan

sometimes (eg. in wamp instalations) the CLI PHP uses another php.ini file diferent to the php.ini used for the web.

Hope you understand!

A way to know if they are different is running phpinfo() both from a web browser and from command line
