Unable to initialize provider. Missing or incorrect schema. for MySql.Web connector

Question

I am trying to use MySql Connector 6.2.2.0 for membership and role providers.

The issue I\'m having is: Unable to initialize provider. Missing or incorrect

Answer 1

My problem was I had "localhost" in my connection string instead of the IP address of the webhost's MySQL server.

Once I changed that in my web.config file it worked fine, so you need to check your web.config file very carefully.
