title: How to enable TCP/IP PROTOCOL for SQL Server Developer Edition on Linux/CENTOS
body: <p>I have proved that when installing SQL Server 2019 developer edition, you have to go to Configuration Manager after the installation and enabled TCP/IP protocol because it is disabled by default after the installation. Because Configuration Manager is a GUI, it is easy to do this in Windows.</p>
  
  <p>However, I am not using Windows and I have installed SQL Server 2019 on Centos 7 and 8 and selected the Developer Edition (or Express edition for that matter).  TCP/IP protocol is disabled because I cannot connect to my SQL Server.  </p>
  
  <p>I need to know how to enable TCP/IP protocol on Linux/CentOS for SQL Server instance after it's been installed. I did find an article somewhere that tabled the protocols and TCP/IP is disabled for Developer/Express etc. edition.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone else run into this issue and can assist?</p>
  
  <p>My odbc.ini looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[MSSQLTest]
  Driver = ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server
  Server = 192.168.1.155
  port=1433
  database=siebeldb
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Many thanks</p>
