Hey,
I am currently on 1.28.1 attempting update to 1.30.0 using a db backend with ssl required.
my wiki vps os is debian 8 updated to latest packages.
If i leave my previous LocalSettings.php in the root folder i get
[93f135981d2034ebf2c31945] 2018-03-26 12:28:44: Fatal exception of type “Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError”
If i try to update using /mw-config url, after i input db settings from my old LocalSettings.php I get
Cannot access the database: Access denied for user ‘mediawiki_user’@’<MY_WIKI_HOSTNAME>’ (using password: YES) (ACTUAL_MYSQL_SERVER_HOSTNAME).
Check the host, username and password and try again.
…
My sql server is configured to accept only ssl sessions for this user. I guess that’s the problem the installer is having.
Just to be clear, connecting using ssl from the shell to the mysql server works fine. I just did a backup previous to update using shell mysqldump.
