Looks like openssl is not in the path. I am not sure if there is a command-line version like linux of openssl for Windows (I guess you are on Windows). Normally, I use cygwin if i need to use openssl manually on windows.

Usman.
P:S. Btw, since your signature says you have access to php5. Have a look at "openssl_csr_new" function (part of openssl package) in php5 help. There is a complete example to create a self-signed certificate.

Hi,
I'm new to OpenSSL and i'm currently trying to create a certificate.
I have on my computer perl installed and i try CA.pl -newcert.
but i get the following message :
'openssl' is not recognized as an internal or external command
operable program or batch file.
Certificate is in newcert.pem, private key is in newkey.pem
if i try CA -newcert, i get nothing as message.
Howcan i create a certificate and thus a private key name "test" for example ?
thanks a lot,
--
Alain
