I'm having issues with connecting to a database on Windows Server (Windows Server Standard - yeah, it's an older server). Here's what I'm trying to do:
I'm in the process of rewriting a classic ASP site in ASP.NET. The conversion has to run in parallel and use the existing MySQL database on the old server. I am developing the site on my pc and then uploading the site to a new server.
Here's the issue that I"m having: I can run everything on my pc with no issues, but when I attempt to run the site on the new server, I'm unable to access the MySQL database. I get MySQL Error 1045.
The firewall on the old server has been configured to allow connections from both my IP and the IP of my server. I've created a user in MySQL that should allow access from any remote IP.
This is the exact exception that is being thrown:
An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions XXXXXXXXXX:3306`
Any thoughts on how I can correct this issue?
Thanks
