I'm trying to access a database that I created through phpMyAdmin. All I want to do is display one of the tables though a gridview. However when I try to create a connection string through my web.config file I get this error:
[ArgumentException: Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0.]

I don't have access to the error log, although I have contacted the database administrators and am waiting on a response from them to see if I can get access.
My connection string is:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="TheRegistrationConnectionString"
connectionString="Server=127.0.0.1;Database=faltesek__dahcookiejar;Uid=falte_aaron;Pwd=xxxxx;"
providerName="System.Data.MySqlClient"
/>
The database server info is:
Server version: 5.1.73-community - MySQL Community Server (GPL)
I've tried looking around to make sure my connection string is formatted correctly. I tried a dozen different formats and can't seem to get anything to work. Until I get access to the server error logs, I thought maybe someone could see an obvious problem with what I'm doing.
Thanks in advance!
