Now solved. I had to download and install openssl and copy the openssl.cnf file from the openssl installation folder (usually c:\openssl\bin) to the nokia one (c:\nokia\am1_0\apache\bin).

Hi all, I am having problem generating a certificate request. I am installing a software called Appliance Manager on Win2k3 SP1. This is a Nokia software which installs apache server. I am unable to start the apache service and my understanding is that this is because I have not been able to generate a certificate (not even the request). The path to apache is C:\Nokia\AM1_0\apache and there is the openssl tool C:\Nokia\AM1_0\apache\bin I have been supplied with a number of batch files to help?! me request and generate a certificate but so far I have failed. These are some of the lines of the script: echo "Generating the Key for BE Server" %OPENSSL_HOME%\bin\openssl genrsa -rand world.png -out BEServer.key 1024 echo "Generating the CSR for BE Server" %OPENSSL_HOME%\bin\openssl req -new -key BEServer.key -out BEServer.csr echo "Generating the Certificate for BE Server" %OPENSSL_HOME%\bin\openssl x509 -req -days 3000 -in BEServer.csr -signkey BEServer.key -out BEServer.cer I have created the OPENSSL_HOME variable and this should be right as it is generating the key, this is what I get from running the batch: C:\Nokia\AM1_0\bin>BECert.bat "Generating the Key for BE Server" Loading 'screen' into random state - done 0 semi-random bytes loaded Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus ..++++++ ........++++++ e is 65537 (0x10001) "Generating the CSR for BE Server" Unable to load config info unable to find 'distinguished_name' in config problems making Certificate Request 3176:error:0E06D06A:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no conf or envi ronment variable:.\crypto\conf\conf_lib.c:325: "Generating the Certificate for BE Server" Loading 'screen' into random state - done BEServer.csr: No such file or directory "Copying the certificate into the destination folder" 1 file(s) copied.

Let me know if you need more info. I know it's a long shot, but any help would be appreciated.
