I am trying to connect Ppower BI to my hosted MySQL database server, this is hosted on LWS (cpanel), i put the server address, the username, the password and the port number(3306), but i am getting the error attached.
Is there someone to help me how can i resolve it.
Thanks a lot for your support
Solved! Go to Solution.
I think you need to install MySQL database server drivers on the server where you have Power BI hosted.
I experienced this in the past with Oracle SQL. I installed Oracle Database driver on the Report server DB host server and it solved my problem
