uhh... I'm not sure what all this ssl/http stuff is about, but it shouldn't
matter. Mysql will be sitting there listening on the mysql port on a
specific IP. It doesn't care about the web protocols.
Just do:
mysql_connect (mysqlhost,username,password);
where mysqlhost is an IP number or hostname like db.yourdomain.com,
and assuming the database allows 'username' to connect with 'password',
you're in.
The errors in your email give me the impression you just don't have permission
to connect to the database with that username/password combo.
