How do I connect to a MySQL database over SSL with Laravel 5.3

Question

I\'ve been searching all over the internet and haven\'t had any success.

Sometimes, the same error is displayed when you don't have permissions for access remotely to the database.

example here:

• Server1-app: 123.123.123.12
• Server2-database: 456.456.456.45

So, you can try from Server1-app:

$ mysql -u youruser -h yourpassword;

And into mysql terminal, check if you are able to access to the database:

$ show databases;

If your database is shown, you have privileges and everything is ok, if not, you must acces to your Server2-database and grant privileges to your user.

Once in Server2-database;

$ mysql -u root -p
$ GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON your_database.* TO 'youruser'@'123.123.123.12';
$ FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
$ exit;

Hope it be helpful;
