Answer 1

Thanks for the participation to solve this connection problem. I also encountered this problem, here is how I solved it.

For info in my case the connection with tsql works but not since Laravel (5.4)

One trick I took to understand is that it is not the default port (1433) that is used.

To find the port you must start a shell connection:

tsql -D DB -S "IP\INSTANCE" -U login -P pass

And check in the logs the good port here is 1168

Net.c: 1059: instance port is 1168

Contents of the file freetds.conf

[global]
    text size = 64512
    dump file = /var/log/freetds.log
    dump file append = yes

[mssql]
    host = MSSQLSRV
    port = 1168
    tds version = auto
    instance = IP\INSTANCE
    dump file = /var/log/freetds.log
    dump file append = yes

Contents of the file : config/database.php

 'sqlsrv' => [
            'driver'   => 'sqlsrv',
            'host'     => 'mssql',
            'port'     => '1168',
            'database' => 'DB',
            'username' => 'login',
            'password' => 'pass',
            'prefix'   => '',
        ],

Now everything is working properly.
