Help me get started

Post by BennyBenson » Fri Jun 28, 2013 6:22 pm

I am trying to start a new OpenVpn server on my Win 7 32bit machine. After carefully
following the instructions and using pretty much all the default config parameters I cannot get the server to run. I am getting some error messages when running the batch file such as:

For the build-dh batch file:
"Warning: can't open config file: c:/openssl/ssl/openssl.cnf"

When trying to start the server:

"Fri Jun 28 12:00:09 2013 OpenVPN 2.2.2 Win32-MSVC++ [SSL] [LZO2] [PKCS11] built on Dec 15 2011
Fri Jun 28 12:00:09 2013 NOTE: OpenVPN 2.1 requires '--script-security 2' or higher to call user-defined scripts or executables
Fri Jun 28 12:00:09 2013 Cannot open dh1024.pem for DH parameters: error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory: error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file
Fri Jun 28 12:00:09 2013 Exiting"
Any ideas?

I am posting a reply to myself that I have been able to start a succcessful server side daemon using basically the default config file parameters. It looks like the server is listening on the windows tap adapter. Should I be able to connect via a client interface to the server running on the same machine?
