It looks like your missing the openssl.cnf file or maybe the my_key.key file.
Double check your config file and command line parameters.

Subject: error while generating Certificate Signing Request
Hi ALL,
--> First I generate private key i.e my_key.key,then I am trying to Generate a
Certificate Signing Request:
while generating .csr file I faced this error .
C:\>C:\tmp_open_ssl\bin\openssl.exe req -new -key my_key.key -out
my_request.csr -config C:\tmp_open_ssl\ssl\openssl.cnf
WARNING: can't open config file: c:/tmp_open_ssl;/ssl/openssl.cnf
If you are running the Windows binaries - openssl.cnf is renamed to
openssl.cfg because Windows thinks .cnf files are some weird dial-up
modem configuration file.
I'm not sure why there is a semi-colon in the path above. If that is a
legitimate copy-paste, then there might be a bug in OpenSSL.
Error opening Private Key my_key.key
3464:error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or
directory:.\crypto\bio\bss_file.c:398:fopen('my_key.key','rb')
3464:error:20074002:BIO routines:FILE_CTRL:system
lib:.\crypto\bio\bss_file.c:400:unable to load Private Key
This error means OpenSSL can't find the file 'my_key.key' in the current
directory. You wouldn't want a private key file in the root of the
primary hard drive anyway because putting files into the root is a great
way to hose your OS such that it won't boot.
