What is wrong with this mysql connection string?

Question

I am using this connection string,

<add name="connectionString" connectionString="server=10.1.1.16;user id=root;
password=lmslive; database=lmslive; pooling=false;" 
      providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"/>

and this database lmslive is in a system next to mine connected via proxy.... And i executed this query on that system,

  GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON lmslive.* TO 'lmslive'@'10.1.1.15'
    IDENTIFIED BY 'lmslive' WITH GRANT OPTION;

I get the error,

Access denied for user 'root'@'XAVY-PANDIYA' (using password: YES).. Any suggestion? what am i missing?

Answer 1

Replace user id=root with user id=lmslive in your connectionString.
