Hi,

Sorry about that, our problem is that its legacy php code.

I've errors like :

mssql_init(): unable to init stored procedure

But the same page may work if I hit reload.

not really:
all is dependent of the previous error failing to init the stored procedure.

Sorry I'm not able to extract part of the log, because I can see where 
it match the failing php statement.
could you give me clue about setting a less verbose freetds log?

    dump file = /tmp/freetds.log
    debug flags = 0x2006

Or any help to isolate the error? (URL ?)
I'm not freetds familiar, can I restrict logging to a specific vhost?

It's on a production server, if I set debug flags 0x4fff. I got a lot of 
output that I can't use for the moment.

I don't know how to do that.


We have supposed a problem with encoding, or persistent connection.
do you have any URL where I can learn about how to trace the error more 
precisely?
