Can't Install FreeTDS via Yum Package Manager

If you don't want to use the RPM Forge packages, freetds and php-mssql are also available in EPEL.

wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install freetds freetds-devel

As adopted from Benny Hill's comment above, this is what got freetds installed for me:

rpm -ivh ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/dag/redhat/el6/en/x86_64/dag/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm

cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi.repo

yum install freetds
yum install freetds-devel
yum install --enablerepo=remi php-mssql
