I’ve been using my ACP for a long time without any issues, but recently, it seems there was an update in cPanel that deprecated the use of the dblib driver for database connections.
The hosting provider informed me that dblib is no longer supported in PHP versions above 5.6, and they suggested switching to the sqlsrv driver.
Although my ACP is still running on PHP 5.6, I followed the advice and updated the database connection method in configs.php to use sqlsrv (by choosing the 4th option in the config), but I keep getting the following error: "Failed to connect! #SQLSRV #DB".
Has anyone come across this issue or know where I should start looking to resolve it?

Any insights would be really helpful!
