tonyelaltaico Hello I am using Ubuntu Operating System while connecting with VPN. While trying to connect by VPN, I came across with this error : "failed to find gid for group openvpn" Could you please show me a way to fix this error ? I used to get this error before "failed to find gid for group nogroup" . I solved this issue by adding nogroup. But after it has been solved now I come across with that error "failed to find gid for group openvpn". Cheers Altaico
janjust if your configuration file lists group openvpn then add a Unix group 'openvpn' (just like 'nogroup').
tonyelaltaico I still come across with same error 🙁 I changed group under /etc by typing vi command and I added nogroup. But I still come across with same error
janjust post your server config file, so we can see what you are trying to achieve. Note that simply editing the /etc/group file may not be enough - I'd recommend to use /usr/sbin/groupadd openvpn
tonyelaltaico Hello janjust Thanks for your message.I have added from group as well by using /usr/sbin/groupadd openvpn .. But I still come across with same error. By the way there is no server.conf file in the /etc/openvpn/ I have only update-resolve-conf file under /etc/openvpn. It is what you need? Cheers Altaico
tonyelaltaico certs and .conf file reside on the same path. I do not understand what cause this problem . I can see the openvpn group when i edit the group file under /etc folder . Any help will be appreciated
