Is there a tutorial on the subject, yesterday I spend a whole day trying to connect a CentOS apache with an MsSql server but with no success. :(
Ok, I've finally figured this out. FreeTDS is a given you must install this first. Once you've installed FreeTDS be sure to test it at the command line by going through the steps here: http://www.freetds.org/userguide/confirminstall.htm
Once you've done that I had to install the FreeTDS development tools then finally php-mssql and that gave me PDO_DBLIB, which worked out of the box with Laravel's sqlsrv. You may need to add a new repo to your yum database, as follows:
rpm -ivh http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-r...
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi.repo
yum install freetds
yum install freetds-devel
yum install --enablerepo=remi php-mssql
Remember to test FreeTDS at the command line to actually determine whether you can get a database connection as it will help you debug any problems before you hit Laravel.
Any problems give me a nudge.
Wow, you had the same problem as me!! :)
And exactly same solution!! Just I came later!!
Just wondering, i'm still facing a problem; standard connection setup, returns accented chars in result to come as � both on var_dump or its source code.
Tried to apply in database.php
'charset' => 'cp1252', // and also latin1 and utf8
'collation'=> 'Latin1_General_CI_AS', // both with this on/off
Latin1_General_CI_AS is what is on SQL Server box
if i utf8_encode($varToDisplay) then will display alright!
but i'm struggling to find direct solution, not to be envcoding every time i make query!
did u have this trouble, or know solution??
Hi fRAiLtY-,
I followed your setup and confirmed FreeTDS is working on my server (no message error codes showed up) but I have a problem querying Eloquent models when using a browser. When I hit my app using a browser I get a SQLSTATE[HY000] Unable to connect: Adaptive Server is unavailable or does not exist (severity 9) error but when I use php artisan tinker and access my models there, it returns records just fine. Any idea?
I also posted this problem on stackoverflow.
@iboinas I'm facing the same problem... I don't wanna utf8_encode each single string I bring from database...

@andersonef & @iboinas - I was facing the same problem, however, using these in the configuration solved it. In fact, adding either one of them fixed the problem.
'charset' => 'UTF-8',
'collation'=> 'Danish_Norwegian_CI_AS'
First, run $ sudo apt-cache search phpyourphpversion-*
example : your php version is 7.0 $ sudo apt-cache search php7-*
Command : vagrant ssh We need to install the Sybase package for enabling the support for PDO and Mssql. Command : sudo apt-get install phpyourphpversion-sybase
example : your php version is 7.0 $ sudo apt-get install php7.0-sybase
