Intermediate certificate not allowed to issue certificates?

Intermediate certificate not allowed to issue certificates?

I'm making a certificate chain:

..|root
.....|intermediate
........|server

When my certificates are installed, the intermediate certificate has an error:

This certification authority is not allowed to issue certificates or cannot be used as an end-entity certificate.

As a result, my server certificate is invalid.

My code:

#Root CA
OpenSSL> genrsa -out root.key 4096
OpenSSL> req -new -x509 -days 1826 -key root.key -out root.crt

#Intermidiate CA
OpenSSL> genrsa -out intermediate.key 4096
OpenSSL> req -new -key intermediate.key -out intermediate.csr

#Root signs Intermidiate
OpenSSL> x509 -req -days 1826 -in intermediate.csr -CA root.crt -CAkey root.key -CAcreateserial -out intermediate.crt

#Server CA
OpenSSL> genrsa -out server.key 4096
OpenSSL> req -new -key server.key -out server.csr

#Intermediate signs Server
OpenSSL> x509 -req -days 1826 -in server.csr -CA intermediate.crt -CAkey intermediate.key -CAcreateserial -out server.crt

Honestly, I'm a beginner when it comes to making certificates. My configuration file was copied from the internet. I need some help. What am I doing wrong? How do I get rid of the error?
