Hi
I hope this is the correct place to post this question.
I'm trying to setup a data-connection in a .NET 3.5 webservice
application to a mySQL database. Whenever I click "Test connection" I
just get an error back, claiming: "Unable to connect to any of the
specified MYSQL hosts".
I even tried to ping mysql.webwiz.net but I get a connection timeout.
I checked that the database exists and that I got the correct version of the ODBC driver installed(3.51), but it didn't help.
Can anyone give me a pointer as to what I am doing wrong or where I can look for help?
Best regards
|

If you are trying to connect to our database servers then you can only do this locally on our network, you can not have a remote connection to our database servers.
If you want to test locally on your own PC then you should install mySQL on your own computer. Once you have finished development create a backup of the database which can then be restored to our servers using the online database tools provided which you can find links to from he Web Hosting Accounts section of your Client Area account.
