cannot generate CSR apache 1.3 w/OpenSSL on NT 4.0 sp6

[uribe]

Can generate private key only. When I run this to generate CSR: req -new -key privatekeyname.key -out mysite.csr
I get the following error message:

using configuration from e:/openssl/ssl/openssl.cnf
unable to load config info
unable to find 'distinguished name' in config
problems making Certificate Requests
484:error:0e06d06a configuration file routine:NCONF_get_string_no config or environment variable:.\crypto\conf\conf_lib.343

any ideas? ..... Thanks
