I tried following the instructions in the article below but it says, “No package freetds available.“
http://www.hosting.com/support/linux/installing-freetds-for-linux/
This is my I/O:
[root@mydomain ~]# yum search freetds
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: mirror.web-ster.com
* extras: mirror.beyondhosting.net
* updates: mirrors.sonic.net
=============================== Matched: freetds ===============================
php-mssql.x86_64 : MSSQL database module for PHP
[root@mydomain ~]# yum install freetds
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: mirror.web-ster.com
* extras: mirror.beyondhosting.net
* updates: mirrors.sonic.net
Setting up Install Process
No package freetds available.
Error: Nothing to do
How can I install freetds? I am just trying to connect to SQL Server!
Edit:
After yum install php-mssql
:
[root@mydomain ~]# yum install php-mssql
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: mirror.web-ster.com
* extras: mirror.beyondhosting.net

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

As adopted from Benny Hill's comment above, this is what got freetds installed for me:

If you don’t want to use the RPM Forge packages,
freetds

are also available in EPEL.Worked for me
(if above doesn’t work, try to check this page https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#Extra_Packages_for_Enterprise_Linux_.28EPEL.29)
