OpenSSL Error

[espfutbol98]

I have OpenSSL working on my site (https://podaci.selfip.net) but it is a self-signed certificate so everybody gets a nasty error. I recently found godaddy.com has $30 SSL certificates so I tried to make a csr. I got this error:

C:\xampp\apache\bin>openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
5504:error:02001015:system library:fopen:Is a directory:.\crypto\bio\bss_file.c:
126:fopen('d:/test/opeenssl098i/openssl.cnf','rb')
5504:error:2006D002:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:system lib:.\crypto\bio\bss_file.c
:131:
5504:error:0E078002:configuration file routines:DEF_LOAD:system lib:.\crypto\con
f\conf_def.c:199:

I have no clue what to do. I tried to make a csr and a key online but the key was the wrong format or something.

I googled and found this link.. http://blog.jlbn.net/?p=46

That is a very nice tutorial but I still get the same error even when just making a key.

Try installing openssl-devel

Oops!

Get a linux box

You can buy a VPS right from x10Hosting. That's a great idea.. I'm sure Corey would agree..

I'm just not sure why I can't do the simplest thing. This might have something to do with it being XAMPP. It comes with its own program to make keys and certificates.
