In my server saying "Could not load file or assembly 'MySql.Web..." but I have mysql in my application

Question

    Parser Error Message: Could not load file or assembly 'MySql.Web, Version=6.7.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

...

    Line 240:      <providers>
    Line 241: <add name="MySQLMembershipProvider" type="MySql.Web.Security.MySQLMembershipProvider, MySql.Web, Version=6.7.4.0, 

.....

Resolved to putting the tag in the web.config file the following line:

<remove name="MySQLMembershipProvider"/>

I do not have access to the server settings to remove mysql. But there is another way to solve this that does not happen again?

Answer 1

I got this error when deploying a website to the server (but not when debugging).

To fix it, select References -> MySql.Data and set the Copy Local parameter to True. When deployed on the server you can verify this by the presence of the MySql.Data.dll in the bin folder.
