Connection Time out with Error Text in Web.Config file

Question

Hi I sometimes get the following error

Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

Source Error:

Line 61: applicationName="/" Line 62:
name="MySqlRoleProvider" Line 63:
type="MySql.Web.Security.MySQLRoleProvider, MySql.Web,Version=6.5.4.0,
Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d" Line 64: Line 65:
autogenerateschema="true" />

Source File: E:\EDUCATIONAL\DOT NET\website\WebSite1\WebSite1\web.config

the error at line 62 to 65 are in roleManager

<roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="MySQLRoleProvider">
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add connectionStringName="conStr"
             applicationName="/"
             name="MySqlRoleProvider"
             type="MySql.Web.Security.MySQLRoleProvider, MySql.Web,Version=6.5.4.0,&#xD;&#xA;             Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d"

             autogenerateschema="true" />
      </providers>
    </roleManager>

How to avoid this problem and what actually is happening here? I understand that it is a connection time out error but my page is not yet taken time to load. I got the error suddenly after I navigated to the required page with in fraction of seconds.

It could be your connection string causing the issue and the RoleManager is unable to connect to your MySql database using your current connection string.
