Problem creating signed certs

[MikeCC]

Hello,

I am trying to create a signed client certificate, but when I execute the command

openssl ca -in req.pem -out newcert.pem

The newcert.pem file is created but it is created as an empty file.

Here is what I see on the display:

/openssl-engine-0.9.6g/apps > openssl ca -in req.pem -out newcert.pem
Using configuration from /usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf
Check that the request matches the signature
Signature ok
The Subjects Distinguished Name is as follows
countryName :PRINTABLE:'US'
stateOrProvinceName :PRINTABLE:'MA'
localityName :PRINTABLE:'Arlington'
organizationName :PRINTABLE:'Brandywine mills'
organizationalUnitName:PRINTABLE:'Hobbiton'
commonName :PRINTABLE:'Frodo'
emailAddress :IA5STRING:'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
The countryName field needed to be the same in the
CA certificate (AU) and the request (US)

/openssl-engine-0.9.6g/apps > ls -l newcert.pem
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 29 22:29 newcert.pem

Can anyone help me understand what I'm missing or doing incorrectly?
