Problem solved, sorta. It was godaddy issue. We installed another database and imported everything to a Mysql 5.0 (rather than 5.5), which allows for direct access.
Then we changed the connection string to the new hosting path and voila, it works.
It’s a temporary fix as who knows when godaddy will stop supporting Mysql 5.0.

Can't connect with database suddenly!
Godaddy updated their server recently and now we can't connect to our database.
Here is the connection string: strDBPath="Driv er={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};Server= name.db.number. hostedresource. com;DATABASE=db fname;UID=useri d;PWD=password; "
I've double checked with Godaddy that the driver is correct, the connection string looks right, but no connection.
Using MySql 5.5, IIs 7, windows server (long story)...Last edited by Rabbit; Aug 20 '15, 07:39 PM. Reason: Please use [code] and [/code] tags when posting code or formatted data.
