Running ssltest -server_auth

Hello wonderful people.

I'm trying to use the ssltest program to get some typical server
authentication (against a self signed certificate) to work. Whatever I
try I just can't seem to get it right, could someone please indicate
which steps should be followed to achieve this ? It feels like it should
be quite a simple operation.

This is what I tried:

> openssl genrsa -out ~/privkey.pem 2048

> openssl req -new -x509 -key ~/privkey.pem -out ~/mycert.pem -days
1095 -config openssl.cnf

openssl.cnf is the "standard" config file in the apps directory,
containing the lines:
dir        = ./demoCA        # Where everything is kept
certificate    = $dir/cacert.pem     # The CA certificate


> ssltest -server_auth -cert ~/mycert.pem -CAfile ../apps/demoCA/cacert.pem

Ending up with this output:

Available compression methods:
 NONE
2988:error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start
line:pem_lib.c:644:Expecting: ANY PRIVATE KEY
2988:error:140B0009:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file:PEM
lib:ssl_rsa.c:669:

I'm probably missing something obvious, but my brain is currently weak
so I'd like to temporarily borrow one of yours on this matter.

Thank you for your time,
