#20976 [Bgs]: rename openssl.cnf
ID: 20976 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: windows systems PHP Version: 4.3.0RC3 New Comment: And you can btw, name it whatever you like, just set an environment variable called OPENSSL_CONF with the name. Previous Comments: [2002-12-13 02:33:49] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wrong place to report this, try openssl.org instead. [2002-12-12 17:08:32] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, thanks for your efforts to make openssl extension more easy to use. The note in the openssl/README-ssl.txt adresses cleanly the problem with speeddial-links on windows system. To give more comfort to end-users - ok, renaming in a dos-box works - I suggest to ship this file with an .conf or txt file extension. It doesnt harm, is easy to edit, and will avoid upcoming bug-reports(IMHO). In the tradition to make PHP as easy to use for the end users it would be very kind to rename this file to openssl.conf or openssl.txt. And users who would like to have it named openssl.cnf could easily achieve this by renaming this file through the explorer interface (after editing).

I don't know how the openssl.cnf is bundeld and my suggestion was _not_ to make PHP search for an opennsl.txt or whatever extension to openssl config file. I was just asking, if it would be possible to rename the shipping openssl.cnf for the reason of easier editing for windows user. I personally have no problems with this issue, I know how to rename or edit and set the env variables:-) Regards Friedhelm Betz Previous Comments: [2002-12-13 05:51:00] [EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql also has a similar issue with it's my.cnf file, although it will also search for my.ini in certain, not always useful, locations.

But forget it, it seems not to be worth to pay attention to. Regards Friedhelm Betz Previous Comments: [2002-12-13 11:28:31] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This behaviour was chosen as it is the same logic as that used in the openssl command line utility; this is advantageous as it allows seamless compatibility with existing openssl installations on all systems. Changing it just to work around a windows explorer feature that is not really a problem (you will only edit the .cnf file once or twice) doesn't seem like enough of a good reason.
