Hi, I just realized after someone else replying to me saying that I need mssql.so instead of php_mssql.dll. What I don't understand is why every time when I tried to install this with yum by precessing yum install php, yum install apache, I can never see the phpinfo page, but when I installed it with the Windows binary, I can get the PHP to show up with my Apahce on my Linux machine. The problem is, I can see that I wouldn't have mssql.so in my package no matter what. Does anyone have any solution to this? Thanks in advance.

I noticed that in http://us.php.net/mssql, it mentioned how we are supposed to add extension=mssql.so in the php.ini file, while in other places I was told to uncomment extension=php_mssql.dll. It appears that this did not give me the right configurations, still, even though the installation did suggest that mssql support is yes. > > > > 2. I used the following to configure my PHP AFTER I had installed and compiled FreeTDS like most of you said, ./configure --with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds --prefix=/usr/local/php, but every single time, it gives me this: Directory /usr/local/freetds is not a FreeTDS installation directory > > > > Could this signify the reason why I cannot see PHP configured with MSSQL connection?

No matter what i tried it kept giving me the "Directory /usr/local/freetds is not a FreeTDS installation directory". I ended up coping some files. wich resulted in a working mssql extension. It's a hack. But for me it worked. I configured freeTDS with the following config options: ./configure --with-tdsver=7.0 --enable-msdblib --enable-dbmfix --with-gnu-ld --enable-shared --enable-static --prefix=/usr/local/freetds And after make && make install; i copied the following files. cp [tds source]/include/tds.h /usr/local/freetds/include cp [tds source]src/tds/.libs/libtds.a /usr/local/freetds/lib Then i configured php with --with-mssql=shared,/usr/local/freetds Hope it helps. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
