Re: Newbie Install Questions

Thank you for your help. I now have tsql connecting on one server - it 
connects using the conf file, and bypassing it as well. I took the path 
of least resistance with this server: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local 
--tdsver=7.0 , set the conf file to tds version 7.0, and made no 
environmental variable changes. One of my problems was my aging brain 
told me to set port to 1443 vice 1433 - thank you for picking that up.

I can't get tsql to connect from the other server, notwithstanding that 
the freetds configuration and conf files for both are identical - I have 
given up on that one.

My next challenge will be getting it to work with PHP!

Regards,

Duncan
