CSR Generation not working

I'm having issues generation a CSR from Vesta 0.9.8-16.

Using the VestaCP tool under Web > Domains > mydomain.com > Generate CSR will only generate a CSR with the default values as shown below. If I change the city, state and organization to the correct values for the site, it only generates a private key, and nothing else.

Domain: mydomain.com
Email: [email protected]
Country (2 letter code): US
State / Province: California
City / Locality: San Francisco
Organization: MyCompany LLC

Any thoughts on this problem and how to solve it?
Thanks!

For anyone else who only gets a private key generated when generating CSR in Vesta, I found that you have to fill in the fields as specified, ie you have to use the correct 2 letter country code eg. AU, do not use 'Australia' or similar. Also it says don't use shortened versions of state names etc.

It worked for me after correcting this.

I found these guides useful for getting this done in Vesta CP:
