Yii error when executing special command

Question

Below is the error below when running my user command yiicin terminal.

I can not track the cause of this error, can anyone point me in the right direction. I know that DB works fine, as other parts of the application work.

<?php

        private $_authManager;

Answer 1

Try:

Change localhostto 127.0.0.1in the connection string.

OR

Add unix_socket=/path/to/socketto the connection string.

Answer 2

By default, Yii uses different configuration files in protected/config/:

• main.php for the internet
• console.php for CLI,
• test.php for tests (units).

, DB main.php, console.php.
