[Mono-dev] Porting an MVC2 project to MVC3 under mod_mono 2.10.1

[Frank Cohen]

Well, it just occurred to me that I never updated the machine.config for
.NET 4.0.  I added this MySQL Data provider to the  mono/4.0/machine.config
and this seems to have solved the problem.

           <add name="MySQL Data Provider"
invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" description=".Net Framework Data
Provider for MySQL"
                 type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlClientFactory,
MySql.Data, Version=6.3.5.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d"/>
