Setting this name/value of opensslcnf/'/etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf' in the
'config' table of the database.  It is also possible that setting it in
config.php might also work but I can not tested it.

Basically RHEL hides the openssl.cnf so that user processes (like
apache) can not find it and can only use it they now the exact path.  I
do not understand why this is but it is.

Title:
  opensslcnf not set (on rhel at least)

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  ssl key generation is dependent on finding the openssl.cnf key on the
  OS.  When installing Mahara on RHEL/Unbreakable Linux the name/value
  of opensslcnf/'/etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf' does not get set in the
  'config' table of the database.  The prevents the key generation
  needed for extra-site networking.  It is possible that on other linux
  variants the file can be found without this but not on this
  combination.  This value does get set on a moodle 1.9 install which
  led me to figuring this out.
