Larry,

We tried django-mssql and gave up.  Much better luck with
django-pyodbc.  We use the avidal version of it, along with pyodbc,
FreeTDS, and unixODBC.  Works perfectly.  If you like, I can dig up
my notes on exactly how we made the connection from Django to
MS SQL Server.

I am trying to connect to a MS SQL server from django on Linux using
Vernon Cole's django-mssql package
(https://bitbucket.org/vernondcole/django-mssql-ado-merge/src).

When I first tried to connect it failed with:

Exception Type: DatabaseError at /report/CDSEM/EventsTable/
Exception Value: Cannot create connection
to=PYRO:[email protected]:9099

I traced it through
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/adodbapi/remote.py and I see it tries
to access os.environ['PROXY_PORT'], which is not defined and then it
defaults to 9099 - Is that the correct port or should I set
os.environ['PROXY_PORT']? How can I tell what port MS SQL db is
listening on? I googled this and it said the default MS SQL port is
1433. I set os.environ['PROXY_PORT'] to that and now I don't get that
error but it times out:

/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Pyro4-4.22-py2.6.egg/Pyro4/core.py(160)__call__()
->  return self.__send(self.__name, args, kwargs)
(Pdb) n
TimeoutError: TimeoutE...imeout',)

I tried opening port 1433 with iptables, but still no joy.

I can connect to the MS SQL db locally from the host it's running so I
know it's up and my credentials are correct, and I can ping the
Windows box from the Linux host I am running on, so I know there is
connectivity to it from there.

Anyone here ever get this working? Anyone have any ideas as to what my
problem is or how I can debug this further?

Thanks!
