Hi,

If $MS_SQL contains an alias for database you might have a problem reading
the cinfiguration file. Tou could try to use the IP address directly.

BTW. From PHP 4.3.0 you can compile PHP using --with-mssql or
--with-mssql=/path/to/freetds. This will enable the full MSSQL api and not
only the few functions aliased in the Sybase extension. This will not have
any impact your error though.
