I have 2 Deticted Servers

I have some Databases in mssql,
And Would like to make website from linux can connect to DB on MSSQL.

I tryed to switch "localhost" to the "IP" of Win server in config.php, but its does'nt connect.

What showld I do ?

"localhost" means connect to itself so you can't do that if the db is on a different machine. Use the IP of the db server instead.

Remember that you must be able to connect to the mssql db port (1433 by default) on the db server and the port is usually blocked by a firewall.
