Hello, I have been reading and reading and doing more reading but i'm struggling with setting up an openvpn. I'm using the opensource edition (without the GUI) and I've been trying to follow these instructions: http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-sourc ... ml#install

I also was hoping for a bit more of a "newbie friendly" guide so I went away and found this - http://www.servermom.com/how-to-build-o ... s-6-x/732/

I got to stage 8 and it didn't work:

Code: Select all

[root@garethgroup 2.0]#
[root@garethgroup 2.0]# chmod 755 *
[root@garethgroup 2.0]# source ./vars
**************************************************************
  No /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/openssl.cnf file could be found
  Further invocations will fail
**************************************************************
NOTE: If you run ./clean-all, I will be doing a rm -rf on /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys
[root@garethgroup 2.0]# ./vars
**************************************************************
  No /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/openssl.cnf file could be found
  Further invocations will fail
**************************************************************
NOTE: If you run ./clean-all, I will be doing a rm -rf on /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys
[root@garethgroup 2.0]# ./clean-all
[root@garethgroup 2.0]# ./build-ca
grep: /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/openssl.cnf: No such file or directory
pkitool: KEY_CONFIG (set by the ./vars script) is pointing to the wrong
version of openssl.cnf: /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/openssl.cnf
The correct version should have a comment that says: easy-rsa version 2.x
[root@garethgroup 2.0]#

Not sure what's going wrong and what to do

Thanks,

Beanie.

Additional:

I have located the file with this information:

Code: Select all

[root@garethgroup 2.0]# find . -name openssl.cnf
./easy-rsa-2.2.0_master/easy-rsa/1.0/openssl.cnf

but I am still not sure how to move forward.
