PHP4, Sybase, sybase_connect

Hi, I cannot seem to get sybase_connect to work. I have sybase-11.0.3 (ASE) installed on SuSE Linux 6.2 (i386) - Kernel 2.2.10 Apache and PHP4 is also installed. Here is an extract from what I get from a <? phpinfo(); ?> ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Configure command: ... --with-sybase=/opt/sybase ... sybase Sybase support enabled Allow Persistent Links Yes Persistent Links 0/unlimited Total links 0/unlimited Application name PHP 4.0 Client API version Sybase DB-Library/10.0.4/ P/ Linux Intel/Linux 2.0.36 apache User/Group sybase Environment SYBASE /opt/sybase HTTP_ENV_VARS ["SYBASE"] /opt/sybase ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// This means that PHP is installed with Sybase and that the environment variable SYBASE is set to the correct directory /opt/sybase ? My interfaces file: ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// SYBASE query tcp ether max 5000 master tcp ether max 5000 ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// With isql commands I seem to be able to connet to the database: isql -U sa password: mypwd1 use touchdb go select * from listtable go This works fine ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I have an index.php in the htdocs directory. I use lynx http://localhost/index.php to look at it. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// <? print ("Environment: $SYBASE \n"); $host = "max"; $user = "sa"; $pwrd = "mypwd1"; $conn = sybase_connect($host, $user, $pwrd); if (!$conn) { echo "cannot connect to $host"; exit; } ?> ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// This ALWAYS gives the following output: /opt/sybase cannot connect to max ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Permissions could be an issue. The following files in the /opt/sybase directory have group and created by 'sybase' permissions .bash_history .sybinit SYBASE.001 through .015 SYBASE.cfg SYBASE.krg install interfaces touchdbdata.dat master.dat sybprocs.dat install/RUN_SYBASE the whole 'init' dir All the rest has root permissions Can you please help? I am out of ideas. Thanks ABreed
