I have tried that as well. I have found documentation that said only 7.2 was valid, and others that said use 8.0.
Luis, I don't believe my issue is with FreeTDS, as I have stated before, I can communicate with my sql server via the isql and tsql command line commands which use the freetds.conf DSN. It is Moodle itself that errors out when I have to supply the same database config into the installer, or the config.php. I don't understand why I have to set up a DSN and also enter the same info into Moodle.
