I am trying to connect Symfony 2.8 to Microsoft SQL Server 2012 by using sqlsrv extension (no pdo sqlsrv, because for php7 - which I am using - there is currently only non pdo).
Trying to run cache clear or access the site in browser results in
"PDO::__construct(): MySQL server has gone away".
When I run the doctrine schema update command, everything works fine and the tables are being generated. Does anyone know how to fix the error? (I don't even know why it says Mysql server gone away when I try to connect on microsoft sql..)
Config:
# Doctrine Configuration
doctrine:
dbal:
default_connection: default
connections:
default:
driver: sqlsrv
host: testhost
dbname: testdb
user: testuser
password: testpw
mapping_types:
timestamp: string
I am looking for a solution since Friday but was not able to find one. I tried to select some entries from a seperate (non symfony) php skript, and there I got the results and no timeout. Why is Symfony / Doctrine giving me this strange error?
