unable to create a self signed CA file in Windows.	lucks.dev	02-12-2008

I configured my PC as server for testing by using the Apache2 Server
with SSL.
now https:\localhost works for me.

My application which tries to verify a server certificate fails with
SSLAlertUnknownCA

To create my own CA file i gave the following command,

openssl req -new -key <keyname> -out <x.csr>

this command failed with the following error, 'Unable to load config
info from /usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf'
how do i configure this path ?. Any attempt to manually copying
openssl.cnf to
..\conf or to ..\bin folders does not solve my problem.

Please share your thoughts on this.
