check in openssl.conf you use for your ca command field 'database' - it should be pointing to file index.txt which serves as a database file for your CA. errror message you get means,that this index.txt file has wrong format.Most probably,you(or someone else) tried to edit it and saved it in wrong format ... The correct format is : 'STATUS'\t'DATEOFSIGN'\t'DATEOFREVOKE'\t'SERIAL'\t'ALIAS'\t'DISTINGUISHEDNAME' It seems like you have empty line(mabye only carriege return) in index.txt > Please give me some advice.
