Connecting to MsSql from a mac

Question

Hello, I'm using PHP 5.4 and pdo_dblib to connect to a mssql db, but it keeps giving me a connection error:
SQLSTATE[] (null) (severity 0)
my settings are the following:
resources.db.adapter = pdo_mssql
resources.db.isDefaultAdapter = true
resources.db.params.host = host
resources.db.params.port = 1433
resources.db.params.username = user
resources.db.params.password = pwd
resources.db.params.dbname = name
resources.db.params.pdoType = dblib
i'm using zend framework 1.12
The code to connect to the db is the following:
        try{
            $db = $this->getInvokeArg('bootstrap')->getResource('db');
            $db->getConnection();
            echo "Database object created.";
        } catch(Zend_Db_Exception $e){
            echo $e->getMessage();
