OpenSSL "ca" Error "unable to open ./demoCA/index.txt"
Why I am getting the "unable to open './demoCA/index.txt'" error when running OpenSSL "ca" command?
✍: FYIcenter.com
If you are running the OpenSSL "ca" command installed
with the slproweb binary package for Windows,
you may get the "unable to open './demoCA/index.txt'" error as shown below:
C:\Users\fyicenter>\local\OpenSSL-Win32\bin\openssl.exe OpenSSL> ca -in test.csr -keyfile my_ca.key -cert my_ca.crt Using configuration from C:\local\OpenSSL-Win32\bin\openssl.cfg Enter pass phrase for my_ca.key:fyicenter ./demoCA/index.txt: No such file or directory unable to open './demoCA/index.txt' 9632:error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory: .\crypto\bio\bss_file.c:398:fopen('./demoCA/index.txt','rb') 9632:error:20074002:BIO routines:FILE_CTRL:system lib:.\crypto\bio\bss_file.c:400: error in ca
This error is caused by the "dir=./demoCA" and "database=$dir/index.txt" options in the configuration file. These options requires you to have a file called "\demoCA\index.txt" under the current directory to be used as a database to keep track new certificates issued by new.
Fixing this error is easy. Just create an empty file: ./demoCA/index.txt, as shown below:
C:\Users\fyicenter>copy CON demoCA\index.txt <Ctrl>-Z 1 file(s) copied. C:\Users\fyicenter>dir demoCA\index.txt 10:27 PM 0 index.txt
Note that press <Ctrl>-Z is the end the input stream to finish the copy command.
⇒ OpenSSL "ca" - "error while loading serial number"
⇐ OpenSSL "ca" Error "./demoCA/newcerts: No such file or directory"
