iOS Failed to Import Profile

[talkinggoat]

I am getting the following error, when I use OpenVPN Connect to try to import my vpn settings. After the config file is loaded in OpenVPN Connect, when I click add, I get this:

Failed to import profile
Failed to import OVPN profile from selected file. Missing/bad files : cacert.pem, 6d6a5eaccb89ae9.pem client.certificate.pem

I have tried opening the config file over the cloud and through email. Nothing seems to work. All the files are in the same directory. All of the files match.

iOS 11.4.1

I have a similar issue on iOS 12.0.0.

After I email myself the .ovpn and .pem files, I click on the ovpn file and open it in the OpenVPN app. I also clicked on the pem file, added and installed it under Profiles in iOS. Then, when I go back to the app and click on "Add" near the listed ovpn file, I get the following error:

Failed to import profile
Failed to import OVPN profile from selected file. Missing/bad file: <my_pem_file>: cannot open for read: /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/2B1E8E8F-...../Documents/Inbox/HHIvpnCA48.pem

I don't understand why my pem file is not found although I downloaded and added it under Profiles. I believe that the file is not corrupt because it is already being used widely in my company on many different platforms. I would appreciate if anyone has any solution for that.
