Hello there, I've been trying to connect my OTRS on linux to a MSSQL database without success. After reading [1]http://www.savelono.com/linux/how-to-configure-linux-odbc-connection s-for-ms-sql.html and [2]http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6636, it's clear that I need freetds and unixodbc in order to configure the ODBC but I also need perl-DBI and perl-DBD-ODBC in order to allow OTRS to actually use the mentioned ODBC. I've tried with fedora 11 in which the freeTDS part works great but the perl-DBD-ODBC does not. On the other hand I tried with opensuse 10.3 in which the per-DBD part is working but the freetds is not. I just want advice on which linux distro use in order to easily accomplish this setup. I'm willing to compile from source anything, I just want some directions from people who have successfully accomplished this kind of connection. Thanks in advance for your help, Leonardo Certuche
I'm with CentOS but I'm not using the distro packaged Perl extensions, I installed with perl shell and CPAN as suggested here: http://doc.otrs.org/2.4/en/html/x531.html#installation-of-perl-modules Worth noticing I'm not using ODBC but might be a good change for you try out the perl modules in CPAN.
