My guess is that the PHP you're using isn't compiled with MSSQL support, 
which is typical of most distributions and their default PHP package.  It 
would be simpler for you to use the FreeTDS ODBC driver along with UnixODBC 
and a DB abstraction layer like ADODB, which is all kinds of WONDERFUL.

Subject: [freetds] PHP Mssql Connection Error: Permissions?

I have a PHP script that makes a connection to SQL Server.

>From the command line as root: tsql -H hostname -U username connects
>just
great and I can run queries.



I have a PHP script in /var/www/html/axis/public/test.php

When I: sudo -u apache -s (change the user from root to apache) and then run 
my PHP script from the command line, it connects just great.

But, from the web browser, it fails. The web browser is able to connect 
everywhere it is supposed to and renders all the web pages that don't need an 
SQL connection.



apache is the user that is running httpd. I've confirmed this via: ps aux | 
grep apache



Any ideas as to why apache can run the PHP script and connect just fine from 
the command line, but when the browser attempts to connect to the very same 
script, it fails?



Thanks,

Derrick
