On typo3 6.2.7on win7 XAMPP 1.8.3

The openSSL error's solution was to create C:\openssl-1.0.1i-win32\ssl folder and put E:\Portables\xampp\apache\conf\openssl.cnf into it. I got a direction about it from a german website.

How I found it out (just in case versions change), in the shell on XAMPP control panel, openssl command gives

WARNING: can't open config file: E:/Portables/xampp/apache/bin/openssl.cnf.

But adding the file there does not help. I added and removed the file.

Add ;E:\Portables\xampp\apache\bin to PATH environment variable (System properties -> Advanced). Run command openssl on a CMD window(not XMPP shell), the message:

WARNING: can't open config file: c:/openssl-1.0.1i-win32/ssl/openssl.cnf

Add the file there, the addition to environment variable PATH can be removed now.

Adding OPENSSL_CONF also did not work for me.
