When you generate the root CA, in addition to what is displayed above, you may be asked: Please enter the following 'extra' attributes, such as a "challenge password".
As you may have guessed, you can safely ignore them (just press Enter).

unable to find 'distinguished_name' in config
problem making certificate request

Vary good tutorial but at step no 4 you may get following type of error.
C:\OpenSSL-Win64\bin>openssl x509 -in demoCA/cacert.pem -days 7300 -out cacert.pem -signkey demoCA/private/cakey.pem
Getting Private key
Enter pass phrase for demoCA/private/cakey.pem:
unable to write 'random state'
If you got this then you need to set following variable in command prompt.
