Hello everyone, I have a problem that sounds similar to a message posted a 
few days ago but I believe the solution will be quite different.  I am 
trying to use odbc connections in php scripts on an apache server to access 
a mssql server.  I am running Centos5.  My php version is 5.1.6, my apache 
version is 2.2.3 and my FreeTDS version is 0.64.  I am able to use isql and 
tsql and connect to the mssql server and query the database.  The problem 
occurs when I try running a php script.  I get an error when attempting to 
connect to the database:

[unixODBC][FreeTDS][SQL Server]Unable to connect to data source

I tried using logs to find the problem:

util.c:288:Starting log file for FreeTDS 0.64
       on 2007-06-06 09:25:58 with debug flags 0x4fff.
iconv.c:195:names for ISO-8859-1: ISO-8859-1

util.c:119:Changing query state from IDLE to DEAD
token.c:2252:tds_client_msg: #20009: "Server is unavailable or does not 
exist.".  Connection state is now 4.
mem.c:519:tds_free_all_results()

I read that this may be due to bad permissions on my freetds.conf file which 
prevents the user apache from using the file but I tried changing the 
permissions of the file and my results did not change.

I then used the exact same installation process on a computer that is 
running Centos4 and php 4.3.9 and I was able to connect and query the 
database using my php scripts.

Please help me, I am new to FreeTDS but I have been looking all over the 
place for a solution to this problem with very little luck.  I would be very 
grateful for any and all help in resolving this issue.  Thank you!
