Check the man pages (man req), the -x509 option is for a self signed cert
(root), while the -new option produces a new cert request (so you are asking
for conflicting tasks).  In this case no request is needed because the it's
the root cert.  Your config option is ok.

This way a root and its asociated private key.

        openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout cakey.pem -out cacert.pem
-days 1095
