I'm following the tutorial here to set up HTTPS on Wampserver.

My wamp is @ d:\wamp

Everything has worked up until Step B, which says:

Type the command: 

openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr

That command produces the error:

WARNING: can't open config file: c:\vc11_deps\repo\winlibs_openssl/install_x86/openssl.cnf

Unable to load config file info from: C:\vc11_deps\repo\winlibs_openssl/install_x86/openssl.cnf

I'm assuming I need to gain a copy of C:\vc11_deps\repo\winlibs_openssl but I find no trace of this on Google, and do not know what it is.

Do you know where I can gain a copy of C:\vc11_deps\repo\winlibs_openssl or winlibs_openssl?

Edit: I found https://github.com/winlibs/openssl

Edit2: I ran the following command in an elevated CMD prompt:

set OPENSSL_CONF=d:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf\openssl.cnf

and then ran 

openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr

again, and received the same error:

WARNING: can't open config file: c:\vc11_deps\repo\winlibs_openssl/install_x86/openssl.cnf

Unable to load config file info from: C:\vc11_deps\repo\winlibs_openssl/install_x86/openssl.cnf

PHP error log shows:

[14-Apr-2016 09:38:52 UTC] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'd:/wamp/bin/php/php5.5.12/ext/php_intl.dll' - The specified module could not be found.

  • That last phrase `winlibs_openssl` prompted a Google search which found [https://github.com/winlibs/openssl](https://github.com/winlibs/openssl) – Steve Apr 14 '16 at 09:17
  • I copied `D:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf\openssl.cnf` to a newly created `C:\vc11_deps\repo\winlibs_openssl\install_x86` folder, and the error disappeared. – Steve Apr 14 '16 at 10:09
  • Did you not see that question was from 2008? – RiggsFolly Apr 14 '16 at 11:57

Not sure if this Q & A is worthwhile, but:

I copied D:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf\openssl.cnf to a newly created C:\vc11_deps\repo\winlibs_openssl\install_x86 folder, and the error disappeared.

  • Thank you, it helped me out (although I changed to install_x64 for the 64bit installation). :) – Alfie Aug 26 '16 at 19:41
