You may need to run the following command from your CLI (changing the  
path to your freedts.conf file if appropriate).
export FREETDSCONF=/etc/freetds.conf

You should be able to add this to /etc/profile and have it load every  
time you login.

That fixed the error I was having above - hope it helps you.

Still having problems with PHP - but I'll post about that later.
