Web.config aruba ConnectionString

Question

I'm trying, unsuccessfully, to connect my website to MySql on Aruba server.

I always get this error:

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. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)

I'm using this connection string now:

<add name="OfferteConnectionString1" connectionString="Data Source=example.org;User ID=xxxx;password=yyyy" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>

I've also tried this:

<add name="OfferteConnectionString1" connectionString="Server=example.org;Database=Sql702732_1;Uid=xxxx;Pwd=yyyy;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>

Answer 1

Please check your connection string and get it straight which DBMS you are using .

Connection string SQL Server

Server=myServerName\myInstanceName;Database=myDataBase;User Id=myUsername;
Password=myPassword;

Connection string MySQL

Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword;

You have declared you are using MySQL however your connection string defines

 providerName="System.Data.SqlClient

If everything is correct then i will suggest you to check some settings as suggested in this Blog

I have attached an image to see where you can find the connection string (Aruba Service)
