Javascript Prisma P1014: The database server does not support SSL connections.

The database server is configured to not accept SSL connections, or the client is attempting to connect with SSL when the server does not support it.

Resolving Prisma Error Code P1014: SSL Connection Issues

Understanding Prisma

Prisma is a modern database toolkit that simplifies database access for developers. It provides a type-safe database client, migrations, and a powerful query engine, making it easier to work with databases in JavaScript and TypeScript applications. Learn more about Prisma on the official Prisma website.

Identifying the Symptom

When using Prisma, you might encounter the error code P1014. This error indicates that the database server does not support SSL connections. The error message typically reads: "The database server does not support SSL connections."

Common Scenarios

  • Attempting to connect to a database server that is not configured for SSL.
  • Misconfigured connection settings in your Prisma configuration file.

Understanding the Issue

Error code P1014 occurs when there is a mismatch between the SSL requirements of your Prisma client and the database server's capabilities. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a protocol for encrypting information over the internet, and some database servers may not support it by default.

Why SSL Matters

SSL ensures that data transmitted between your application and the database server is encrypted, providing an additional layer of security. However, if the server does not support SSL, you must either disable SSL in your client configuration or enable it on the server.

Steps to Fix the Issue

To resolve the P1014 error, follow these steps:

1. Disable SSL in Prisma Configuration

If SSL is not required, you can disable it in your Prisma configuration file. Open your prisma/schema.prisma file and locate the datasource block. Modify the connection URL to include ?sslmode=disable:

datasource db {
provider = "postgresql"
url = "postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/mydb?sslmode=disable"
}

2. Enable SSL on the Database Server

If SSL is required, configure your database server to support SSL connections. This process varies depending on the database system you are using. For PostgreSQL, you can follow the official PostgreSQL SSL documentation to enable SSL.

3. Verify Connection Settings

Ensure that your connection settings in the Prisma configuration file match the server's capabilities. Double-check the connection URL and any SSL-related parameters.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the P1014 error and establish a successful connection between your Prisma client and the database server. For more detailed guidance, refer to the Prisma documentation.
