[openssl-users] 2 openssl installed?

[sampei02 at tiscali.it]

Yes, that’s right.
My target is to migrate old server to new one keeping PKI and certificates (included databases).
After this search how can I manage these files into new server?
I Should to create multiple directory ? Each one for each index.txt files ? My search found several index.txt files
It’s necessary to write this directory immediately under openssl directory?

Basically, your problem seems to be that you have an older server and you don't know where the certificates and private keys (i.e. the PKI) were stored. What you need to do, is find out where the certifcates are held, together with the index.txt file. In order to do so, you could use something like
