I am running a SuSE SLES 11 server and trying to install moodle and having problems. I have followed all the instructions on setting up the unixODBC and FreeTDS and all that works, but Moodle can't connect to my database.
I have followed the instructions at https://docs.moodle.org/23/en/FreeTDS and I am confused as to why I have to set up a TDS DSN and than I have to set a configuration in my config.php for Moodle. Why isn't moodle picking up my DSN? I am able to configure TDS and use both the isql and tsql commands to access and return data. I'm using SQL named instances, and TDS seems to be fine with this, but Moodle has no options for instance in the config.php.
1. Why is Moodle not using my DSN?
2. Can Moodle use MSSQL Named Instances?
3. Anyone else set up similarly?
