After installing Apache 2.0.63 w/ OpenSSL 0.9.7 on a Windows Server (see previous posts), I ran into this little issue while trying to create a certificate request with the following command…

#openssl req -new -key mydomain.key -out mydomain.csr

Luckily I found bug #1187 quickly on the openssl request tracker site at

http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=1187&user=guest&pass=guest

If your looking for the quick fix use the -config switch and point it to the openssl.conf under
tha apache install dir.

#openssl req -config "D:\Apache Group\Apache2\conf\openssl.cnf" -new -key mydomain.key -x509 -days 365 -out mydomain.csr
