How do I create a self-signed SSL Certificate for testing purposes?
hello I tried using the http://localhost/manual/ssl/ssl_faq.html#aboutcerts

after installing openssl
in manual I did these steps except step 2:

How do I create a self-signed SSL Certificate for testing purposes?

   1. Make sure OpenSSL is installed and in your PATH.

   2. Run the following command, to create server.key and server.crt files:
      $ openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out server.crt -keyout server.key
      These can be used as follows in your httpd.conf file:

                   SSLCertificateFile    /path/to/this/server.crt
                   SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/this/server.key
      	

   3. It is important that you are aware that this server.key does not have any passphrase. To add a passphrase to the key, you should run the following command, and enter & verify the passphrase as requested.

      $ openssl rsa -des3 -in server.key -out server.key.new
      $ mv server.key.new server.key
      Please backup the server.key file, and the passphrase you entered, in a secure location.

I have problem in step 2 I don't know the path
actually I have private.key by using this command:

     openssl req -out CSR.csr -pubkey -new -keyout privateKey.key
    
I don't know what exactly these commands will do

Thanks in advance
