My apologies, I should have included that earlier. It's not very helpful
however, the error from the browser is:

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

What does your PHP error log show when you run that script from the browser?

Thank you very much for your input.
I don't think that's the issue because I can run the PHP command as apache
and have the script execute from the command line like so:

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

If PHP wasn't compiled properly, then that script would fail, but it doesn't
fail, it pulls all the data from the DB just fine. This script only fails
when it is executed from the browser.

Any other ideas?

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.

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

>From the command line as root: tsql -H hostname -U username connects

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
