I'm trying to set up a server on centos 6.2 with vpn 2.2.2 and when I try to start the server with the command: openvpn server.conf

the fowling error comes up: Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in server.conf:78: ca (2.2.2)

can anyone tell me what's happening, please?

Thanks

port 1194
proto udp
dev tun

ca ca.crt (looks like the problem is here, I've tried to put the full path to the file but it doesn't work anyway.
cert server.crt
key /server.key # This file should be kept secret

dh dh1024.pem
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
keepalive 10 120
comp-lzo
persist-key
persist-tun
status openvpn-status.log
verb 3

I have generated the keys for the server and the client.

What OS are you running the server on?

It's on CentOS 6.2.

Have you tried using absolute path to your cert and key files?

ca /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/ca.crt
