Unable to connect gateway with datasource

I just published my new report with MySQL as data input. I also created a gateway with this same SQL database. Actually I can not connect those 2 together. If I am looking at the settings from my datafield, i can not select a gateway. 

 

Refreshing from app.powerbi.com is not possible now. 

 

Any idea how to solve this?

Hi @DionTN ,

 

Would you please try to install the latest version of mysql-connector on the server where gateway installed?

MySQL :: Download MySQL Connector/NET (Archived Versions)

 

And also try to update the gateway to the latest version.

Power BI Gateway | Microsoft Power BI


If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and related operation screenshoots. Looking forward to your reply.


Best Regards,
Henry

I downloaded everything. It's mariaDB not mySQL. 

 

In the powerBI desktop everything is working fine. Actually when I publish my report I can not connect my gateway so automatically refreshing is not possible by missing references
