I also receive this message when trying to build the ca file:
The system cannot find the path specified.
error on line 2 of openssl.cnf
1456:error:0E066065:configuration file routines:CONF_load_bio:missing equal sign
:.\crypto\conf\conf_def.c:366:line 2
I'm not quite sure what it means with the error saying "missing equal sign." I also don't see anything listed on line 2 of the code. Here is my openssl.cnf file, which I'm sure has some errors.
