pls guys hep me to solve this problem pls pls,, i really needs urgently the solution

Your error mentions "mysql". That is NOT the same thing as "mssql". MySQL is an opensource datatabase. MSSQL is a proprietary database on MS Windows (originally derived from Sybase).

I haven't tried to connect to MSSQL on Windows from Linux but doing a search yields several hits the first of which looks like it might be useful:
http://richbs.org/post/43142767072/c...rver-from-unix

That suggests use of FreeTDS for talking to MSSQL. The link they have in the above post for FreeTDS isn't working but I found their main site is still active:
http://www.freetds.org/

Be careful in your searches - the next link after the one I mention above was talking about unixODBC but clearly for mysql rather than mssql.

Here is a sample from a working host:
and we connect using and worked that out from the same link MensaWater provided.
