To connect to a database using SSL in Laravel, you can follow these steps:
- Install the required SSL certificate on the database server.
- Update the database connection configuration in the .env file or config/database.php file to include the SSL options. Here's an example of how the configuration might look like:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 |
'mysql' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', ''),
'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => false,
'engine' => null,
'options' => [
PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_KEY => '/path_to_client_key.pem',
PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CERT => '/path_to_client_cert.pem',
PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA => '/path_to_ca_cert.pem',
],
],

- Update the configuration with the correct paths to the SSL certificate files. Ensure that the paths are relative to the project root directory.
- Save the changes and test the connection to the database by running a migration or accessing database data.
By following these steps, you should be able to connect to a database using SSL in Laravel.
