I’m having trouble connecting to my mysql server with C# from a remote machine.

  • 0

I’m having trouble connecting to my mysql server with C# from a remote machine. I know the server is working, because I can access all of the tables through phpmyadmin. I have the firewall turned off on the server, I have the user configured for any host, and the connection string is formatted as:

Server=ip address;Uid=user;Pwd=password;Database=db name;

But when I call the Open method for the SqlConnection object I get a general server can’t be found error and its obviously just timing out by the amount of time the method takes. I don’t know if I missed some configuration for the mysql server and I don’t really know what to try next…

    It sounds like your using SqlConnection, which connects to Microsoft SQL Server databases.

    You need to use a MySQL client library.
