Description:
------------
Environment: W2K, IIS V5.0, PHP 5.1.0-dev  (I received identical results for PHP 5.0.3)

Problem:  openssl_pkey_new() fails 

I am running PHP 5.1.0-dev and OpenSSL 0.9.7c. Per the documentation, I have set the OPENSSL_CONF environment variable on my PHP server to point to the OPENSSL.CNF file. I have verified that libeay32.dll resides in the correct directory. I believe I have a "valid" openssl.cnf file, but it still doesn't work....

I have found comments indicating that this command works for others.  Is the installation documentation for opensll complete?

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$privkey = openssl_pkey_new();

while (($e = openssl_error_string()) !== false) 
{ print($e . "<BR>");
}
?>

Expected result:
----------------
I expected $privkey to be a non-zero value.  It isn't.

Actual result:
--------------
error:02001003:system library:fopen:No such process
error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file
error:0E064002:configuration file routines:CONF_load:system lib
error:02001003:system library:fopen:No such process
error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file
error:0E064002:configuration file routines:CONF_load:system lib

Can you please copy the distributed openssl.cnf to the default location c:\usr\local\ssl\? If it helps, try to copy yours openssl.cnf there. If it still works, try <?php var_dump(getenv(OPENSSL_CONF)); ?> so that we can see where the problem lies.

Per your request, I put a copy of the distributed OPENSSL.CNF file in the default location (c:\usr\local\ssl).  No change in results.
I then re-directed the OPENSSL_CONF environment variable to this new location and rebooted the box.  It still fails, but with different error messages:

error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value
error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value
error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value
error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value

error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value
error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value

== Output from var_dump(getenv(OPENSSL_CONF)) ==
string(28) "C:\usr\local\ssl\openssl.cnf"

So it works - "NCONF_get_string:no value" is only some kind of notice.

I respectfully disagree.  Shouldn't the openssl_pkey_new() function should return a value?  It doesn't.  When I issue the following code:

$privkey = openssl_pkey_new();
if($privkey)
	print("Private key is a non-zero value.<BR>");
else
	print("Private key is FALSE.<BR>");

I get the following:
Private key is FALSE.

It started working.  I don't know why.  I am closing the bug report.

[2005-06-10 09:11 UTC] vrana@php.net

There was no problem in the docs, so it's Bogus.

I've got the same problem. I'm generating pkey, csr and certs.
