Management localhost 7505

Post by wures7 » Fri Jan 14, 2011 12:25 am

Hello all,

I'm looking for the configuration file to add this line. I'm using CentOS 5.4 and don't know what directory it is under and what the file name is. When I find it, exactly where in the file do I type this so I don't get a syntax error when I restart the service? Initially, I thought it was under etc/init.d/openas. Maybe I'm at the right place but didn't place the line properly in the file? I'm trying to use an external program called OpenVPN User Manager.

Hello,

The default location for openvpn's configuration files on a redhat(ish) system is /etc/openvpn. The startup script that the openvpn package comes with will try to start a server for every /etc/openvpn/*.conf file available.

Thanks for the prompt reply Stephen. That's what I figured too but the problem is I don't see the folder in that directory. I checked show hidden folders and files but no dice. And I know that I accepted the default locations when I configured OpenVPN. I've been Googling for hours looking for that server.conf file. I even did a search of the entire root directory.
