Talk:Installing MSSQL for PHP

Are the ODBTP instructions for ODBTP.conf incorrect? According to moodle forum[1], the ODBTP.conf must point to the host of the ODBTP service, not the MSSQL server.

I can only verify this for Windows, no idea about unix.

Hi Ben, I've updated the documentation. All my tests were/are with both the ODBTP service + the MSSQL server in the same host so I never had that problem. Thanks for pointing to it! Eloy Lafuente (stronk7) 09:50, 16 July 2007 (CDT)

Also, unlike the other methods described in this article, we are not given a clue as to what to put for the $CFG->db... parameters in config.php, especially $CFG->dbtype. --Richard Enison 07:45, 9 June 2008 (CDT)

Hi Richard, the correct parameter for proper MSSQL-UTF8 connections is: $CFG->dbtype = 'mssql_n', going to insert that somewhere in the page. Thanks! Eloy Lafuente (stronk7) 12:40, 19 June 2008 (CDT)

And I presume that the statement in the ODBTP section that reads: (where /path/to/your/odbtp.conf" is usually "/usr/local/etc/odbtp.conf"" for Unix systems and "C:|odbtp|odbtp.conf" for Windows systems) should look like (where "/path/to/your/odbtp.conf" is usually "/usr/local/etc/odbtp.conf" for Unix systems and "C:\odbtp\odbtp.conf" for Windows systems). When I copied it from the article and pasted it here, the vertical bars turned into backslashes, so I replaced them with vertical bars to show what it really looks like.
