[Python-sybase-misc] Trying to connect to MSSQL on wrong port?

[Jonathan H. http://JonathansCorner.c. <chr...@gm...>]

I'm migrating a machine from Gentoo to Ubuntu (Intrepid), and am trying to
get Sybase to talk to the database that the machine talked with before the
upgrade.

I'm running Ubuntu 8.0.4 with Python 2.5.2, Sybase 0.39, and Freetds 0.82.
Sanitized output follows:

>>> import Sybase
>>> database = Sybase.connect("[deleted]", "[deleted]", "[deleted]")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/Sybase.py", line 1194, in connect
  File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/Sybase.py", line 850, in __init__
  File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/Sybase.py", line 894, in connect
  File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/Sybase.py", line 250, in _clientmsg_cb
Sybase.DatabaseError: Layer: 0, Origin: 0
Unable to connect: Adaptive Server is unavailable or does not exist
>>>

Prior to the migration, those two would execute without errors and I would
be able to move on.

My sysadmin looked at it with netstat and said that it's trying to talk on
port 4000, not 1433 as it should be.

How can I make sure that my installation is trying to talk to the MSSQL
server on the standard port? (Or are there other likely suspects?)
