Has anyone successfully set up an Umbraco solution using SoftSys hosting and a MySQL database? I've had the solution working fine locally but it does not work when deployed to SoftSys. If you've got this working can you please show me the format for your connection string.
What's the problem you are having right now? I'm trying out Softsys shared and it's been a bit of a rough ride so far. I'm not using MySQL though I am thinking of tyring it out.
This is the first time I have tried using MySQL and this error
turned out to be a configuration error on my part (I was pointing to
the wrong port). For future reference the connection string at SoftSys
for MySQL DB's is:
I have used SoftSys for several sites and they have always been very responsive. If there are any problems try their helpdesk and if they can't help fire away here...
I set read and write permissions in the Dotnetpanel and I am still getting this error installing imbraco: Could not save the web.config file. Please modify the connection string
manually. Request for the permission of type
'System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission, mscorlib,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'
failed.
MySQL and SoftSys
Hi,
Has anyone successfully set up an Umbraco solution using SoftSys hosting and a MySQL database? I've had the solution working fine locally but it does not work when deployed to SoftSys. If you've got this working can you please show me the format for your connection string.
Thanks
Paul
I haven't tried using MySQL but did you put in a helpdesk ticket to make your site Full Trust?

Any ideas?
yes,
you need to set read/write permissions to the whole directory as a temp file is created. this is discussed elsewhere in these forums.
I tend to do all my development locally, release to hosting environment and update web.config manually so this avaoids this issue.
is working on a reply...
