esxi appliance failure in the installation

horg

hi guys:

I am installing a test and an open-vpn esxi. I downloaded the * ova and have successfully created the virtual machine, start and introduce the credentials of root (enter maintenance mode, read only and we do a fsck, reboot). Begin the startup script ovpn-init and the third question, specify ip admin GUI? generates this error enter any option ip etc.
File “/usr/local/openvpn_as/bin/_ovpn-init”, line 361, in <module>
LOGIN_IP = SUGGEST_IPS[1]
IndexError: list index out of rage

thanks

Did you ever find a resolution to this issue? I'm having the exact same issue.

Apparently the "wizard" fails to work unless you have a DHCP server that will provide the appliance an IP before you attempt to set it up. I received this error when it asked what IP to us. Since I didn't have DHCP setup, 0.0.0.0. provided the error you have indicated.

Nice of openvpn.net to hint to this.

thanks for the tip...it has been one of the many hurdles I have had to jump through get this appliance set up.

Do you know how to change the IP address from DHCP to Static? I have tried everything in the FAQ with no success.

nevermind...I got it to work after some painful digging. I posted my results here:

Thanks for your input though.
