title: How to connect to MariaDB on Synology Server from Visual Studio
body: <p>I want to build an application that uses a database. I have a Synology server and I want to use it as a database server. I want to build the application in .Net using Visual Studio. I have installed MariaDB and phpMyAdmin. There is already a database called 'test'. I have created a user called 'Chechy' and have set it up to be able to connect from any host. I am unable to log in to phpMyAdmin using 'Chechy', not sure if I am supposed to be able to, but I get error #1045. Logging in with 'root; works fine.</p>
  
  <p>What am I supposed to enter in this screen to make it work. I have tried the server name (with and without the double backslash), and I have tried the internal ip address of the server. Needless to say, nothing has worked so far.</p>
