What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. when using host_is_server=True in settings.py, the port number is inserted incorrectly into the connection string.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The connections string should look like this: DRIVER={FreeTDS};SERVER=<myserver>;Port=1433;UID=... but instead looks like this: DRIVER={FreeTDS};SERVER=<myserver>,1433;UID=... So the 'Port=' text is missing, and the comma should be a semicolon.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Trunk at r183 on Linux Mint 9 with unixodbc and freetds.

Please provide any additional information below. I tried adding the missing text in base.py and the connection now works. So the fix is in the line after the one containing "if port_str:", replace host_str += ',%s' % port_str with host_str += ';Port=%s' % port_str

Update: the same thing happens on WinXP.

This is just the change described by the OP in form of a patch file.

Fixed in r188, thanks.
