I've just realised that tsql wasn't included in the version of freetds
we're running with.  I'll upgrade to v0.61 and see how I go.  In the
meantime if anyone can see anything obvious I'm doing wrong so far I'd
appreciate it.

Thanks

Subject: [freetds] DSN connection problem using Solaris 2.8, unixODBC
and freetds

Hi list,

I'm relatively new to this stuff in particular and Unix in general.
Hence I'm struggling a bit with getting the configuration right.  I've
google trawled and gone through the documentation of both freetds and
unixODBC to no avail as yet and the good folk over at unixODBC have been
some help but suggested I try this list as well.  Any help will be
greatly appreciated.

Our system is:
Solaris 2.8
Freetds
unixODBC
php-4.3
SQL server 2000
All running through/alongside Apache 2.0.43

The installation went for all of the above went fairly smoothly, but
when I try to test the dsn I've created I get nowhere.  Tsql doesn't
seem to have been installed with freetds as the documentation is
suggesting it should have been so I'm unable to test the freetds
elements independently, but when I attempt to test the connections
between freetds and unixODBC I'm getting errors suggesting the DSN
doesn't exist. 

unixODBC is looking for its system dsn in /usr/local/etc/odbc.ini.  I've
hand edited the ini file there (see below) and also the one in the root
of the website (root's home) to no avail.

[phpBBForums]
Driver = TDS
Description = PHPBB database
Trace = No
Servername = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Database = foo
UID = bar

When I run isql I get:
 
#:isql -v phpBBForums bar barpwd
ld.so.1: isql: fatal: relocation error: file
/usr/local/freetds/lib/libtdsodbc.so: symbol gethostbyname: referenced
symbol not found
Killed

freetds.conf lives in /usr/local/freetds/etc/freetds.conf and looks like
this
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[phpBBForums]
        host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
        port=1433
        tds version= 7.0



usr/local/etc/odbc.ini 
(blank after odbcinst -i -s -f tds.datasource.template, the following
was added manually)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[phpBBForums]
Driver = TDS
Description = PHPBB database
Trace = No
Servername = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Database = phpBB_Forums
UID = blah
PWD = blah


usr/local/etc/odbcinst.ini
(this populated successfully by odbcinst -i -d -f tds.driver.templatea)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
[TDS]
Description             = freetds driver with protocol 7.0
Driver          = /usr/local/freetds/lib/libtdsodbc.so
FileUsage               = 1
 
 
Any further guidance/advice will be much appreciated.
 
thanks
