uberweiss, you may want to double check your freeTDS installation. the configuration for unixODBC will work correctly only if those files are installed in the correct directory, cause there is direct dependancy.

Dear Steven.

Thank you very much for your feedback.

the “libtdsodbc.so” wasnt in “/usr/local/lib/” but in “/usr/lib/” so i have copied it to “/usr/local/lib/”.#

i’ve checked the information entered in the /etc/freetds.conf and it looks correct.

[a_name]

host = 192.168.10.5
port = 1433
tds version = 8.0

but i still get the same error.

Hey There,

I followed the tutorial and connected to the database in terminal no problems. But I can’t seem to get the mssql extension installed. It Doesn’t show up in phpinfo() and says call to undefinded function when i run mssql_connect()

any suggestions? I’m using OS X snow leopard.

uberweiss, you may want to check your “/usr/local/lib/” folder if the “libtdsodbc.so” is there? and make sure in step 3 your names are same and correct.
