Mysql database

[Denster]

I have a mysql database up and running on the server which I can administer with the mysql Administrator. However I cant for the life of me get my web site to connect to it.
The site is written in .NET and I have a connection string that looks something like this
DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};SERVER=mysql5.active-ns.com;Option=131072;uid=UserName;pwd=Password;db= DatabaseName;
Is there anything else I'm missing?

Please Help

Are you using the MySQL connector?

Can you detail the error messages you are getting?

I originally had the connector but then I took it out as I wasnt sure where it was supposed to go or what I was supposed to do with it.
I assumed it went in the bin folder but it didnt make any difference when I tried it.
There are no errors when running the site - just not populating the relevant areas.

Can you post of PM me some sample code?

I suspect your using some try catch code somewhere which needs temporary removing so we can see what the error is.

I suspect the route of the problem is that your not using the MySQL connector correctly. Your right that it does need to go in the bin folder but you need to uses the database connector class contained with in the dll rather than the default .net ones.
