I have a valid connection with SQL Server, and all controllers are working fine. But when I try to execute a command Task, I recive this error: Error: Database connection “Sqlserver” is missing, or could not be created.

```
$this->loadModel('Client');
$this->loadModel('User');

    // Repasar los clientes de SAGE que tengan informados datos de WS
    $clients = $this->Client->find('all', array(
        'conditions' => array(
            'Client.wsName <>' => '',
            'Client.wsPassword <>' => '',
            'Client.Email <>' => ''
        )
    ));
...

```

Sorry. Seems that the IT guy in the client desn’t know the difference between php.ini for command CLI and php ini for Apache. 😔
