Hi

 

I installed freetds few days ago with yum and rpmForge repository enabled. I
have a Linux Centos and php 5 like a lot of people and mssql support is not
enabled with this distro. I find some tutorials through google and i
compiled php 5 once again following a HowtoForge tutorial. Actually if i run
a php script with phpinfo() mssql is show as “enabled”. But in trust Linux
Server can’t connect against SQL 2005.

 

I read a lot of documents but i need some help to setup FreeTDS and try to
connect from command line. I believe that the main files to setup are:

 

freetds.conf

odbcint.ini

odbc.ini

 

I did the test with “isql” command and “tsql” with same parameters. Any
worked.

 

[IM002][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found, and no default
driver specified

[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect

 

Theses is an output from Isql command. So i believe that i must have a
trobule with configuration of freetds files(freetds.conf, odbc.ini, etc). I
need a little help to try to configure properly freetds from shell and
perhaps, after all, maybe i successful connect to SQL Server from php
script.

 

Thanks

 

PD: i attach freetds.conf
