Sometime the problem could be on your windows firewall  make sure your server allow access to all port associated with your mysql database

using System  using System Linq  using MySql Data MySqlClient   namespace ConsoleApplication1       class Program               static void Main string   args                            add here your connection details             String connectionString    Server localhost Database database Uid username Pwd password                try                               MySqlConnection connection   new MySqlConnection connectionString                   connection Open                     Console WriteLine  MySQL version      connection ServerVersion                   connection Close                              catch  Exception ex                                Console WriteLine ex                             Console ReadKey                        make sure your database server is running if its not running then its not able to make connection and bydefault mysql running on 3306 so don t need mention port if same in case of port number is different then we need to mention port

Just ran into the same problem  Installing the  NET framework on the target machine solved the problem   Better yet  make sure all required dependencies are present in the machine where the code will be running

I was having the exact same error   Here s what you need to do   If you are using MAMP  close your server  Then click on the preferences button when you open up MAMP again  before restarting your server of course    Then you will need to click on the ports tab  and click the button  Set Web and MySQL Ports to 80  amp  3306

Sometimes spacing and Order of parameters in connection string matters  based on personal experience and a long night  S   So stick to the standard format here      Server myServerAddress  Port 1234  Database myDataBase    Uid myUsername  Pwd myPassword

Since this is the top result on Google   If your connection works initially  but you begin seeing this error after many successful connections  it may be this issue   In summary   if you open and close a connection  Windows reserves the TCP port for future use for some stupid reason   After doing this many times  it runs out of available ports   The article gives a registry hack to fix the issue        Here are my registry settings on XP 2003   HKEY LOCAL MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services Tcpip Parameters MaxUserPort 0xFFFF  DWORD  HKEY LOCAL MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services Tcpip Parameters MaxUserPort TcpTimedWaitDelay 60  DWORD        You need to create them  By default they don t exists       On Vista 2008 you can use netsh to change it to something like   netsh int ipv4 set dynamicport tcp start 10000 num 50000       but the real solution is to use connection pooling  so that  opening  a connection really reuses an existing connection   Most frameworks do this automatically  but in my case the application was handling connections manually for some reason

use SqlConnectionStringBuilder to simplify the connection   System Data SqlClient SqlConnectionStringBuilder builder   new System Data SqlClient SqlConnectionStringBuilder    builder  Initial Catalog      Server   builder  Data Source      db   builder  integrated Security     true  string connexionString   builder ConnectionString  SqlConnection connexion   new SqlConnection connexionString   try   connexion Open    return true    catch   return false

Try this   MySqlConnectionStringBuilder conn string   new MySqlConnectionStringBuilder    conn string Server    127 0 0 1   conn string Port   3306  conn string UserID    root   conn string Password    myPassword   conn string Database    myDB      MySqlConnection MyCon   new MySqlConnection conn string ToString      try       MyCon Open        MessageBox Show  Open        MyCon Close        MessageBox Show  Close      catch  Exception ex        MessageBox Show ex Message

I found the solution to my problem  I was having the same issue  Previously I had my connection string as this notice the port  3306 needs to be either attached to the server like that 127 0 0 1 3306 or removed from server like that Server 127 0 0 1 Port 3306 depending on your  NET environment   quot Server 127 0 0 1 3306 Uid username Pwd password Database db  quot   It was running fine until something happened which I am not sure exactly what it is  might be a recent update to my  NET application packages  It looks like format and spacing of the connection string is important  Anyways  the following format seems to be working for me   quot Server 127 0 0 1 Port 3306 Uid username Pwd password Database db  quot   Try either of the versions and see which one works for you  Also I noticed that you are not using camel casing  this could be it  Make sure your property names are in capital casing like that Server Port Uid Pwd Database

In my case the hosting had a whitelist for remote connection to MySql  Try to add your IP to whitelist in hosting admin panel

User · Answer

If you are accessing the live database by using localhost URL then it will not work   Please deploy your service or website on IIS and create URL and then access the database by using new URL  It will work
