title: Problem with the phpMyAdmin ssl configuration
body: <p>I have a little problem with my <strong>PhpMyAdmin</strong> <em>(i use NGINX &amp; PHP 7.2)</em>. I wanted to <strong>configure the SSL</strong> connection between <strong>MySQL</strong> <em>(MariaDB 10.2.27)</em> and PhpMyAdmin by adding its information to the <code>config.inc.php</code> file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl'] = true;
  $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl_key'] = '/etc/mysql/ssl/server-key.pem';
  $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl_cert'] = '/etc/mysql/ssl/server-cert.pem';
  $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl_ca'] = '/etc/mysql/ssl/ca-cert.pem';
  $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl_ca_path'] = '/etc/mysql/ssl';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><h3>But</h3> now when I want to connect to PhpMyAdmin I get the error: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/2006): MySQL server has gone away</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Do you know why I have this error? Thank you in advance for your help.</p>
