kris_hm Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hi, I have to use openSSL to create private key to secure some of my datas on website. I downloaded openssl for windows, installes it and thats it. I've stuck :( I know that I should be able to use that command: openssl genrsa -out my-prvkey.pem 1024 in command line to create the certificate. But it doesnt work (Even if I'm in openssl/bin directory). Please help as I'm looking for it two days already and can't find any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Start then run you will see cmd, click enter, then you will see C:\Documents And Settings\Administrator then you need to type cd.. then type cd.. again. then you will see c:\ Now type and enter openssl genrsa -out my-prvkey.pem 1024 Also good reading is http://www.openssl.org/ Hope that helps George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

germ Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I know that I should be able to use that command:openssl genrsa -out my-prvkey.pem 1024 in command line to create the certificate. But it doesnt work (Even if I'm in openssl/bin directory). Use Windows search to find openssl.exe Open a DOS window. Change directories (via the cd command) to the folder where you found openssl.exe Type in your command. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

kris_hm Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 That's not a problem for me. The problem is that when I try to use openssl.exe (using openssl commands) I get a message: The system cannot execute the specified program and I don't know why (???)

germ Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 and I don't know why (???) 1. You're not in the folder where openssl.exe is 2. openssl.exe isn't on your machine If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

kris_hm Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 you're not wright. Maybe i'm new to openssl but not to other stuff anyway I solved the problem. looks like it was something wrong with openssl itself, as I downloaded different version and it works fine anyway i've got other problem now. i created private and public key, added new cert to paypal and downloaded my certificate. but still don't know how to encrypt my html buttons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebivnvenu Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hi, if the download of openssl from here does not work :- http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html then also install the C++ distributable from here :- http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en it will then work for you no probs Cheers Mike Bienvenu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
