Apache Friends Support Forum

When I 'show variables' in MySQL, I see that have_openssl=NO. Was MySQL compiled with openssl? If so, then how do I activate / otherwise get MySQL working with ssl connections?

I've searched high and low, and there just isn't a lot of documentation on this feature.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/ ... enssl.html

Help much appreciated.

As you can see in the "xampp-changes.txt", MySQL have ssl support.

When I 'show variables' in MySQL, I see that have_openssl=NO.

Than that is not from a XAMPP 1.5.1. The initial state in 1.5.1 is "have_openssl = DISABLED".

If you need ssl, just enable it in "my.cnf".

Actually, I didn't notice it before, but I guess this build doesn't have ssl support for MySQL. Any ideas which builds/versions of xampp for windows have ssl support for MySQL?


From xampp-changes.txt:

08 Jan 2006, XAMPP 1.5.1
- UPDATE MySQL 5.0.18 (without ssl support)

mysql> show variables where variable_name='have_openssl';
+---------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+-------+
| have_openssl | NO |
+---------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Interesting, the beta from 1.5.1 was with ssl...

You can try 1.5.0 or definitely it is in the latest beta (1.5.2-beta1).

Noel sorry to hijack this but I have a related problem.

In 1.5.1 PHP4 is compiled with SSL but PHP5 does not seem to be ?!?!? I have been trying to test a small script wich uses the command ftp_ssl_connect this works fine under PHP v4 but dies under v5.

Can anyone help?
