Do note that this post is written quite a while back in year 2008. I checked freeTDS and noted that it's now in version 0.91. I did encounter some issues previously with the different versions having compatibility issues. You may want to try with the 2008 release of freeTDS, version 08.2? Btw, what OS are you installing in? Steven Hi Roshan,

It seems like you are having problem with the freeTDS installation package. Do note that this post is written quite a while back in year 2008. I checked freeTDS and noted that it’s now in version 0.91. I did encounter some issues previously with the different versions having compatibility issues.

Btw, what OS are you installing in?

That should be the folder where your php.ini will be loaded from by default it "Loaded Configuration File" shows "(none)". Find "PHP Extension" in your phpinfo(). if it shows "20060613+lfs", it means the .so extension file is loaded in the right directory. Follow the steps in step 6 should let you create the .so file in the right directory. hope this helps! :) Hi Ash,

You do have “Configuration File (php.ini) Path ” right? That should be the folder where your php.ini will be loaded from by default it “Loaded Configuration File” shows “(none)”.

Find “PHP Extension” in your phpinfo(). if it shows “20060613+lfs”, it means the .so extension file is loaded in the right directory.

Follow the steps in step 6 should let you create the .so file in the right directory.

hope this helps! :)

I removed the php5 directory which i had before and installed php-5.2.14. I still could not find .so file in its ext/mssql/ directory but i did find one in usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/ but i don't understand one thing. Do i need to copy it back to the ext/mssql/ folder or what should i do next. there is no configure file in ext/mssql to run the ./configure command. Also the phpinfo() page shows (none) in place of loaded configuration file. Does it mean that it cannot locate php.ini file? I am sure i did configure, make, make install and also make test . Please help. Thnks Hi Steven,

Yep, seems like the .so file is missing. since freeTDS is a source code library you jus need to get the version you need and overwrite w config-make-install will do.

Though many comments have really confused me for a while. I am trying to connect to MS SQL through PHP on Ubuntu. The error says mssql.a|so is missing. I don't know if its same .so file we are looking at. Can you please tell me how to downgrade and upgrade to later version of freeTDS. Thank you for ur help. Hi Steven,

After 2x months I now have it fixed in OpenSUSE-Factory. Pity that the Novell / SUSE does not see this as a feature. Ubunto and Fedora has this by default... Thank you very much…

I used this in conjunction with one I found here: http://www.dotvoid.com/ FYI I had to install php5-sybase to get php to recognize the mssql_* functions. In ubuntu 10.04 I just ran this: sudo apt-get install -y php5-sybase Also, I'm not sure if it really matters much, but I did add these empty text files to the freetds installation directory: touch /usr/local/include/tds.h touch /usr/local/lib/libtds.a By the way, if you don't specify a directory, freetds installs by default in /usr/local/ One last thing: When I installed the mssql.so file, I specified the freetds installation directory, like so: ./configure --with-mssql=/usr/local Great tutorial!

FYI I had to install php5-sybase to get php to recognize the mssql_* functions. In ubuntu 10.04 I just ran this:

sudo apt-get install -y php5-sybase

Also, I’m not sure if it really matters much, but I did add these empty text files to the freetds installation directory:

touch /usr/local/include/tds.h
touch /usr/local/lib/libtds.a

By the way, if you don’t specify a directory, freetds installs by default in /usr/local/

One last thing:

When I installed the mssql.so file, I specified the freetds installation directory, like so:

./configure –with-mssql=/usr/local

I have, on one side, a server fedora-core8 and on the other hand, a Windows Server 2000. After much hesitation I decided to follow this tutorial but since installing the unixODBC I get the following error: configure: error: non acceptable C compiller found in $ PATH. I look for config.log but can not identify where the problem lies. Some good soul can help me? Sorry for the style I'm not fluent in English Hi
