Updated by: wez@php.net
Reported By: Troublegum@woltlab.de
Status: Open
Bug Type: Documentation problem
Operating System: Windows 2000 Professional
PHP Version: 4.2.3
Assigned To: wez
New Comment:
A little more info:
The default path for the openssl.cnf file is determined as follows:
OPENSSL_CONF environmental variable, if set, is assumed to hold the
path to the file.
If it is not set, SSLEAY_CONF environmental variable is checked next.
If neither are set, PHP will look in the default certificate area that
was set
at the time that the SSL DLLs were compiled. This is typically
"C:\usr\local\ssl\openssl.cnf".

It seems that you need to have a valid openssl.cnf file for this to
work correctly.
You can obtain this file from one of the packages at:
http://www.openssl.org/source/
The default path is C:\usr\local\ssl\openssl.cnf, but
you can override this path like this:
$key = openssl_pkey_new(
array("config" => "path/to/openssl.cnf")
);
We are currently investigating including a file for this purpose in our
win32 binary distributions.
Making this a documentation problem (I already added more information,
but this has yet to filter through to the online docs).

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

openssl_error_string() returns different messages when I reload the
page. I used the following test script:
----------
<?php
$privkey = openssl_pkey_new();
if(empty($privkey))
{
echo "error: no key was generated by openssl_pkey_new()";
}
else
{
echo "a private key was generated by openssl_pkey_new()";
}
echo "<br>Error Message: ".openssl_error_string()."<br>";
exit;
?>
--------------------
These are the error messages openssl_error_string() returned:
1. request) error:02001003:system library:fopen:No such process
2. request) error:2006D002:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:system lib
3. request) error:02001003:system library:fopen:No such process
Thanks..

And what error messages does openssl_error_string() return?

Yes, you are right. But even with the correct variable and the latest
win32 snapshot (downloaded at 07/12/2002) it did not work for me.
The problem is the following:
<?php
/** generate key */
$privkey = openssl_pkey_new();
if(empty($privkey))
{
die("error: no key was generated by openssl_pkey_new()");
}
else
{
echo "a private key was generated by openssl_pkey_new()";
}
?>
produces
"error: no key was generated by openssl_pkey_new()".
