  Only if you are uncomment the rest of the "verify" section.  The documentation makes it clear.

  It's created based on the filename you specify.  It's a filename.  It's not magic.

  It's a filename.  Wherever you want.

  The requirements for the directory are described in the comments.  Which you posted to the list.

  Perhaps try after, so that the server can start, write files there during the OCSP "verify" stage, and then you delete them?  Does that make sense?

  Maybe "before" is a better idea...
