[resolved] Open VPN Installation on CentOS 6.2

[testmiss123]

Hi,

I tried installing openvpn on CentOS 6.2. But I get the following error. Can some one help me:

[root@ilangko ~]# rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/e ... noarch.rpm

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

After researching I tried:

[root@ilangko ~]# yum -y install gnutls-devel

Setting up Install Process
Package gnutls-devel-2.8.5-4.el6_2.2.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

And then tried yum install openvpn and still am getting the same error.

hi there,

the package openvpn-2.2.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 you are trying to setup
is for centos 5 (notice the el5).

did you installed rpmforge as a repo?

the correct file is

openvpn-2.2.1-1.el6.x86_64

cheers,


Michael.

Thanks for your help. It worked like a charm.

You can install the openvpn package through below mentioned repository as well.

ADDING THE REPOSITORY FILE

You also need to download a yum repo file so that yum can find these packages:

$ cd /etc/yum.repos.d
$ wget http://repos.openvpn.net/repos/yum/conf ... shots.repo


INSTALLING PACKAGES

In most cases, this is as simple as

$ yum install <packagename>

You need to allow importing the repository's public GPG key when you tells you
to.
