MySQL OpenSSL error 2026 ‘SSL connection error’ fix

The solution for the very annoying SSL connection error (since MySQL 5.1.38). You must omit these options : –ssl-cert AND –ssl-key e.g. mysql -u bill -p -h 123.456.789.0 –ssl –ssl-ca=/etc/mysql/ca-cert.pem or mysql -u bill -p -h 123.456.789.0 –ssl –ssl-ca=/dev/null Too simple… …MySQL should fix. It’s been a while since this one lives. Ciao.
