terungwa Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I have Set Up a Remote Database to Optimize wordpress Site Performance with MySQL on Ubuntu 16.04. I downloaded the wordpress onto my web server. When I Navigate to the public IP address associated with my web server, i get "Error establishing a database connection". With wordpressdebug mode set to true, the details of the error is: Warning: mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/3159): Connections using insecuretransport are prohibited while --require_secure_transport=ON. in /var/www/html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1538 I have tested remote connection using the remote user and I am able to connect. This means my database server is running and my remote user credentials are also correct. What may be causing this and how can I resolve this?
