#20705 [Opn->Csd]: openssl_pkey_new does not seem to generate a new key

ID: 20705 Updated by: wez@php.net Reported By: Troublegum@woltlab.de -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Windows 2000 Professional PHP Version: 4.2.3 Assigned To: wez New Comment: Thank you for your bug report. This issue has already been fixed in the latest released version of PHP, which you can download at http://www.php.net/downloads.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-11 06:33:11] wez@php.net 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". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-11 06:13:12] wez@php.net 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). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-11 01:04:41] sniper@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-10 18:31:32] Troublegum@woltlab.de 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.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-10 13:30:05] wez@php.net And what error messages does openssl_error_string() return? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
