I'm running Debian 8. I created a signing request and then decided I wanted to change the FQDN so I deleted everything in my /ssl folder.

I then tried to run the same command again and and received the error:

WARNING: can't open config file: /usr/lib/ssl/openssl.cnf
Unable to load config info from /usr/lib/ssl/openssl.cnf

I then reinstalled OpenSSL thinking that my fix it but it didn't.

Any suggestions?

How exactly did you reinstall openssl? – Marek Klein Jan 27 '17 at 09:39
`/usr/lib/ssl/openssl.cnf` is just a symbolic link to the `/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf`. – jww Jan 27 '17 at 10:23
apt-get install --reinstall openssl – ok1ha Jan 27 '17 at 12:42
