Issue

Hi i'm having a problem trying to enable SSL on Mysql (MAMP version 3.0.5 for mac)
When i try to add :

ssl
or ssl-ca=/Users/myuser/Documents/ssl/ca-cert.pem

lines on my.cnf
On the log of mysql i got the Error

unknown variable ssl
unknown variable ssl-ca=

can someone help me please?

Solution

Check if mysql was compiled with ssl support using mysqld --ssl --help. You will get unknown option --ssl if its not compiled in.

You can also try the following queries SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'have_ssl'; and SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'have_openssl';

If you don't have it compiled in you may need to replace it with the version from homebrew/macports or compile from source.
