Hello,

The private key is not in the same directory, here's my default openssl.cnf:

certificate     = $dir/certs/CA.pem # The CA certificate
serial          = $dir/serial           # The current serial number
crl             = $dir/crl.pem          # The current CRL
private_key     = $dir/private/CAKey.pem# The private key
RANDFILE        = $dir/private/.rand    # private random number file


Fred.
