Are you calling the server by name or by IP address?

Thank you for your reply.
So I can run the php script as apache on the command line like this:


-bash-3.2$ PHP /var/www/html/axis/public/test.php


And the php script pulls all the data from the DB just like I would expect it 
to. However, if I run the same script from the browser, I get the following 
error:

SQLSTATE[HY000] Unable to connect: Adaptive Server is unavailable or does not 
exist (severity 9)

When you say the script fails, what do you mean by that? Do you get any error 
msgs? If so what are they?

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
