Can you and how do make Orchard CMS work with a MySQL Database?
When setting up Orchard for the first time, it asks for a database connection string; I gave it one like this to a MySQL server database:

`Data Source=democmsorch#######ostedresource.com; Initial Catalog=democm#####rd; User ID=dem#####hard; Password='##########';`

(without the #s really)

Orchard then comes back with the following error:

*Setup failed: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)*

The MySQL database is set for direct access so should be accessable for Orchard; is there something I am missing?

Thanks in advance
