MySql Data Entity EF6 In Medium Trust

Question

We currently are on a shared windows server through Hostgator. They are forcing the shared servers to run in Medium Trust. They have MySql.Data.DLL (6.9.7) in the GAC. The issue is they don't have MySql.Data.Entity.EF6.DLL in the GAC, nor will they install it for me. So I tried referencing there MySql.Data dll from the gac and then referencing the MySql.Data.Entity.EF6.dll (6.9.9) from our project. When I do this I get a security error. I am assuming this is due to the EF6 dll requiring full trust. Any solution to this? Thanks

Error:

I do not know the Error which you mentioned.But i suggest you to read this page carefully https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-net/en/connector-net-entityframework60.html
Your WebConfig is not as below format

<connectionStrings>
    <add name="MyContext" providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"
        connectionString="server=localhost;port=3306;database=mycontext;uid=root;password=********"/>
</connectionStrings>
<entityFramework codeConfigurationType="MySql.Data.Entity.MySqlEFConfiguration, MySql.Data.Entity.EF6">
    <defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework"/>
    <providers>
        <provider invariantName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"
            type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlProviderServices, MySql.Data.Entity.EF6"/>
        <provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient"
            type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer"/>
    </providers>
