I am trying to connect to a remote MySQL database and am not having any luck.  I have tried the connection string in the OWS docs, and a connection string I found online, and neither are working.  I was able to connect to the same db using RazorSQL and Sequel Pro so I know my credentials are right.  Anyone doing this with success?

Custom Connection field: "Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver}; Server=xxx; Database=xxx; User=xxx; Password=xxx; Option=3;" />

You need to make sure that the "Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver}" is set correctly, you may need to ask your hosting company for the exact driver reference.

Good luck! Ken
