unable to access magento classes via command line interface/vagrant box

[theSeeker]

hello everyone 

i installed Magento via a vagrant box. it works fine.

i created a page at the root of the site with following code: 

require_once('app/Mage.php'); //Path to Magento
umask(0);
Mage::app();


$customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer')->load(79);
print_r($customer->getData());

i then tried to access this page  via command line interface on windows (cygwin) with following commands

 php magento/test.php

i get the following errors; 

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[HY000] [20 02] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
' in C:\DevFolder\magentoKlierik\magento\lib\Zend\Db\Adapter\Pdo\Abstract.php:12 9

however when i make the same call via the URL i get access. i.e 

why is there a difference when using  command line and how do i give permission on the command line

Hi,
Possible it is yur cli php settings? When you check phpinfo from command line - do you have everything same as for web version?

Hi

You wrote that you tryto access this page via command line interface on windows (cygwin) with following commands: php magento/test.php

You're using the PHP interpreter installed with cygwin, not the PHP interpreter of the Vagrant machine.

You must use the Vagrant machine shell  to run "php magento/test.php"

Use putty or use this command: https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/cli/ssh.html
