I've been trying to generate a self signed certificate to get SSL working on a very simple internal web server. I'm using a windows server 2003 box so I got the open SSL windows binaries from http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html. Using a HOWTO I found here http://www.sitepoint.com/article/securing-apache-2-server-ssl/ I used the following command to try and generate a cert:
openssl req -new -key domainname.com.key -x509 -out sslname.crt I got an error on that one so I tried a command the openssl.org documentation had: openssl req -new -key privkey.pem -out cert.csr Again I got an error like this: Error opening Private Key privkey.pem 3924:error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:.\crypto\bio\bss_file.c:356:fopen 3924:error:20074002:BIO routines:FILE_CTRL:system lib:.\crypto\bio\bss_file.c:358: unable to load Private Key Any idea what the problem is? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Trouble-generating-a-self-signed-certificate-tp23869634p23869634.html Sent from the OpenSSL - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
