Laravel 5.7 on Microsoft Azure

I have Laravel installed on Microsoft Azure server, and all of the sudden the website stopped working with the log message below

    production.ERROR: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002]  (SQL: select * from `menus` where exists (select * from `menu_translations` where `menus`.`id` = `menu_translations`.`menu_id` and `columns` = 0)) {"exception":"[object] (Illuminate\\Database\\QueryException(code: 2002): SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002]  (SQL: select * from `menus` where exists (select * from `menu_translations` where `menus`.`id` = `menu_translations`.`menu_id` and `columns` = 0)) at D:\\home\\site\\vendor\\laravel\\framework\\src\\Illuminate\\Database\\Connection.php:664, Doctrine\\DBAL\\Driver\\PDOException(code: 2002): SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002]  at D:\\home\\site\\vendor\\doctrine\\dbal\\lib\\Doctrine\\DBAL\\Driver\\PDOConnection.php:31, PDOException(code: 2002): SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002]  at D:\\home\\site\\vendor\\doctrine\\dbal\\lib\\Doctrine\\DBAL\\Driver\\PDOConnection.php:27, PDOException(code: 0): PDO::__construct(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages:
error:1416F086:SSL routines:tls_process_server_certificate:certificate verify failed at D:\\home\\site\\vendor\\doctrine\\dbal\\lib\\Doctrine\\DBAL\\Driver\\PDOConnection.php:27)

Any idea how to solve this ?

Thanks in advance
