[FIXED] Cannot generate a Certificate Authority in certificate manager / want to use WebRTC

FreePBX
1

I’ve tried this on two different FreePBX instances, both fairly new… both running FreePBX 12.0.57… and when I go to the certificate manager to generate a new certificate I get this error:
Error Generating Certificate: unable to load Private Key
139649876150088:error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line:pem_lib.c:703:Expecting: ANY PRIVATE KEY

I want to try to deploy the WebRTC softphone to my end users.
Any ideas?
Do I have to upload a CA instead of generate one?

I found that I needed to generate a Certificate Signing Request from Apache, then create an external CA, and upload it to FreePBX, then generate a cert from that uploaded CA. I could not simply generate a CA from FreePBX.

So I got it working in case anyone else runs into this problem.

Can you provide the commands you execute to create the certificate in apache?

If you are getting this error message delete the certificate authority and start over
