In response to my own message, I did some more research, and looked in my
web server's error log, and found:

unknown option -subj

This tells me that I'm probably using the wrong OpenSSL version since a flag
does not exist for the current one installed. I have OpenSSL 0.9.6 24 Sep
2000 installed, but I updated it to a 2001Jul30 snapshot, and I still get
the same error.

Greetings,

Just like to let everyone know that OpenCA 0.8.0 branch is working _MUCH_
better for me. Congrats! Much cleaner install using configure too. I'm
having problems generating the CA request though. I have no problem using
the interface to create the Key, which i confirmed is at
/usr/local/OpenCA/private/cakey.pem. But, when I generate the CA request, I
get a blank screen, and view source shows that the html was completed, just
no content in the middle of the source. The file careq.pem is not created.

Any ideas?

Also, maybe it's time to put the PRE-0.8.0 stuff at the top of the distro
pages so people don't get confused, like I did ;]
