Hi
No problem. No confusion. I've managed to get a key to generate on my local PC for the Moodle installed there using the openssl thing in PHP.
However, I've done the same on the server and no key yet. I have a suspicion I'm going to have to reboot it to make the changes to the openssl.cnf and environment variables take effect, but that isn't terribly convenient on a server. I've tried restarting Apache, but that didn't work either. Still hunting.
Good luck with your networking.

PS I've got the key to generate. for some reason if you include the file extension .cnf on the end of the file name the key does not generate. As soon as you take it off the key generates. In my mind this makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, but at least I have a key now so progress and I'll worry about understanding it all later!
