SQL SSL errors when deploying laravel project to azure - php

Question

I deployed the project to azure and both the webpage displays properly and links work fine, but for the user registration I need to connect the database. Everything works well locally and I followed all the instructions of creating/connecting a sqsl db in azure but I get thte following 3 errors and not sure what to do, how to debug, its a project I was given to deply and didnt create myself,( I am only gona show the first 3 lines of the error since they are long):
UPDATE: It works if I disable the SSL on azure so its got something to do with my local app config for that

here is the DB section of my .env file:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=mydbserver.mysql.database.azure.com
DB_DATABASE=mydb
DB_USERNAME=myuser
DB_PASSWORD=mypass
MYSQL_SSL=true
And here is the connection part of my database.php file in the config folder, I know the hosts
'connections' => [
'sqlite' => [
'driver' => 'sqlite',
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', database_path('database.sqlite')),
'prefix' => '',
],
'mysql' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'homestead'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'homestead'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', ''),
'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => true,
'engine' => null,
'sslmode' => env('DB_SSLMODE', 'prefer'),
'options' => (env('MYSQL_SSL')) ? [
PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_KEY => '/ssl/BaltimoreCyberTrustRoot.crt.pem',
] : [],
],
'pgsql' => [
'driver' => 'pgsql',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
'port' => env('DB_PORT', '5432'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
'charset' => 'utf8',
'prefix' => '',
'schema' => 'public',
'sslmode' => 'prefer',
],
'sqlsrv' => [
'driver' => 'sqlsrv',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
'port' => env('DB_PORT', '1433'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
'charset' => 'utf8',
'prefix' => '',
],
],
I know the host is set to local but that is how I understood it should be from the azure docs that say:
You can use the PHP getenv method to access the settings. the Laravel code uses an env wrapper over the PHP getenv. For example, the MySQL configuration in config/database.php looks like the following code:
PHP
Copy
'mysql' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
...
],
Thanks
