I have PHP compiled with OOB and Apache on one of my Linux bxes and it works great. My problem is that I need to run PHP w/ OOB on a second box as a stand alone app. Here is a sample script: #!/usr/local/bin/php <? $dsn = "npps"; $user = "xxxxx"; $pass = "xxxxx"; $conn = odbc_connect($dsn, $user, $pass) or die ("Error: unable to connect to SQL server"); ?> Here is the error: X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.4pl1 Content-type: text/html <br> <b>Warning</b>: SQL error: [Easysoft ODBC (Client)]authentication error number 87, SQL state S1000 in SQLConnect in <b>./nessusscan</b> on line <b>5</b><br> Error: unable to connect to SQL server This connect string works on all of my Apache servers. Is there some trick to this when PHP is stand alone?
