Hi group, I have a problem with openssl giving an error message when creating a CSR. The command line I am using is:
/usr/bin/openssl req -passout pass:test -keyout /srv/www/vhosts/ipsec/certs/test.pem -out /srv/www/vhosts/ipsec/certs/test.pem -rand /dev/urandom -days 365 -new -subj "/C=xx/ST=xxxx/L=xxxxx/O=xxxxx/CN=xxxx xxxx/[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
(I also tried this command without the -rand parameter and some other file with random data as -rand parameter e. g. /tmp/.rnd.tmp) Everyone has full access to all the directories I specify on the command line.
When I execute this command on the BASH shell, the output is as expected (between ---***---):
---***--- Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key ......................................++++++ ........................++++++ writing new private key to '/srv/www/vhosts/ipsec/certs/test.pem' ----- ---***---But when the same commands are executed by a PHP script using PHP's system() function or PHP's exec() function, following messages are appended to the web server's error log output:
---***--- Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key .................++++++ .........................++++++ unable to write 'random state' writing new private key to '/srv/www/vhosts/ipsec/certs/test.pem' ----- ---***---The CSR file is there, but the message "unable to write 'random state' annoys me a little bit. I already tried to find a solution on the Internet, but there was nothing appropriate. I also reatd the FAQ entry regarding this error message, but the information provided there did not solve my problem.... Maybe anoyone out there knows the reason for this message and also knows how to fix it...
Thanks, Thomas
