    Umbraco not working after MySQL Upgrade from 5.7 to 8.0

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 7

    Hi, after we upgraded our MySQL server (running on Windows) from version 5.7 to 8.0.11 Umbraco stopped working.

    The error that Umbraco shows is Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'System.Guid?' on the startup. Before the upgrade everything was working great.

    What consoles me is that also other applications are having issues (Zabbix for example), so must be something changed in MySQL or some bug of the version 8.0 to cause the issue.

    Do you guys already have this issue? How did you solve it?

    Thanks, Michele

    Hello, just to share: I solved the problem.

    In order to let Umbraco work with MySQL Server 8, must use the MySQL Connector version 8.

    Just need to replace the DLL MySql.Data.dll distributed with Umbraco with the version 8.X, then add in the web.config the following:

    <dependentAssembly>
    <assemblyIdentity name="MySql.Data" publicKeyToken="c5687fc88969c44d" culture="neutral" />
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-6.9.9.0" newVersion="8.0.15.0" />
</dependentAssembly>

    And then it works.

    Cheers, Michele
