Question

I am uploading a ASP.NET website which us MySQL as database and I am not able to open a connection to database on my server.
The website was working fine on localhost but on server it throws an exception:

The server is provided with MySQL ODBC 5.0 drivers as they say.
Connection string I am using is:

connectionString="driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};Server=(local); Database=db_name; Connection Timeout=60; uid=username;pwd=1234;"

Is this the correct way of connecting to database?

connectionString = "Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};Server=localhost;Database=myDataBase; User=myUsername;Password=myPassword;Option=3;"
