note 105649 added to mssql.requirements

The note about the server alias is correct. Connecting from a Linux box to a MS SQL server machine doesn't just happen because you have FreeTDS installed. To get it to work I used the freetds.conf file located at /usr/local/etc/freetds.conf NOT /usr/local/freetds/etc/freetds.conf I used the setup: [RemoteServer] host = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port = 1433 tds version = 7.0 Then in the PHP script called mssql_connect("RemoteServer"); and it works! BUT BE AWARE THAT THERE ARE TWO FREETDS.CONF FILES. IF ONE DOESN'T WORK FIND THE OTHER ONE. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 173.170.157.34 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/mssql.requirements.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/105649 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105649/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105649/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105649/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105649/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105649/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105649/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105649 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/105649 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
