在openshift上连接到mysql服务器时出错

Question

Im trying to connect to a mysql database running on openshift. The computer I have used is running win 10. Below is my C# code snippet of what im trying to do. The server address, password, and username have been blanked out.

  string connStr = @"Server=xxxxxxx.rhcloud.com:3306;Database=hurnhusms;Uid=XXX;password=XXX;";
        SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connStr);
        try
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Connecting to MySQL...");
            conn.Open();
            Console.WriteLine("Connection successfull !");
            conn.Close();
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        { 
            Console.WriteLine("error => " + ex.ToString()); 
        }
        Console.ReadLine();

when I run the application all I get is:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. i have also ran rhc port-forward , i have also pinged the mysql port on the site and it is open.

Any help would be appreciate.

Answer 1

Okay what I figured out is that I need to execute the rhc port-forward and then keep that window open (not terminate that command). I didn't realize that window need to stay open.
