mysql provider version 5.2.1 (tested 5.1.4 as well) tryed system installation and tryed to put in Bin directory.
System: mono 1.9.1 -- mon-fastcgi-server, Linux Debian Etch 64bit.

Error Message:
Failed to find or load the registered .Net Framework Data Provider 'MySql.Data.MySqlClient'. () ()

Description: HTTP 500. Error processing request.

ISSUE No 2:

The MySQL script assumes that table names are case insencitive, it is not true under UNIX and Linux. I need to change all "insert" statements
to lower case in order to make script work

Ok. I managed to load the MySQL backend under mono. Few notes:

1. Add the section you pointed to to Web.Config
2. Use version 5.1 of library. 5.2 refused to work with mono

Another issue:

In MySQL script the table names created with low letters (no CamelCased) this caused a problem
running MySQL backend under Linux. They should be renamed in consistent way: all camel cased (also few inserts should be fixed as well)
I'll send a patch later (e-mail?).

BTW, the performance is not shining about 45 pages per second at Athlon AMD 3000+ 1G RAM.
