Hi,

I got the same error the first time I ran OpenSSL. I don't know if it's
the same error for you, but for me it was just an error in my config
file..

Look for the foolowing line in the "[ CA_default ]" part of the config
file:
private_key    = $dir/private/privkey.pem       # CA private key

Make sure there is a space between ".pem" and the comment.

It worked for me... Hope it'll help you !

Regards,

Philippe
