Since everything is hosted locally I was able to resolve this by adding an option in sql.ccp to disable ssl.
Sql* Sql_Malloc(void)
{
Sql* self;
CREATE(self, Sql, 1);
mysql_init(&self->handle);
StringBuf_Init(&self->buf);
self->lengths = NULL;
self->result = NULL;
self->keepalive = INVALID_TIMER;
my_bool reconnect = 1;
int sslmode = 1;
mysql_options(&self->handle, MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT, &reconnect);
mysql_options(&self->handle, MYSQL_OPT_SSL_MODE, &sslmode);
return self;
}
