Easy-RSA install location issue
Posted: Fri May 22, 2015 4:36 pm
Hi all,
Last night I tried installing OpenVPN server on a Mac Mini, running Yosemite 10.10.3.
I was following the instructions just fine until I got to the step where I am supposed to change to the easy-rsa/2.0 folder. After finding out that easy-rsa was pulled from the install package, I looked for a solution and found out that I could install it through macports. The kicker is that the macports version is the 3.0 branch, and there is no 3.0 folder under the easy-rsa folder.
I suppose I could create a symbolic link. But, that's a kludge, and I'm testing this out for deployment on a company server.
Is it as simple as going to terminal and running.
Or do I need to modify something within OpenVPN to specify the different folder location as well?
Also, are there any tutorials on editing the vars file? The above-mentioned 3.0 install only has a vars.example file, which I'm assuming you clone and then edit as needed. However, it wasn't clear what needed changing. The install instructions I'm working off, simply say to "Edit the last 8 or so lines to match your setup" at step 7. But, that was from 2012 and referring to the Easy-RSA 2.0 branch.
Here are the instructions http://remonpel.nl/2012/02/set-up-an-op ... -your-mac/.
Kind of stuck, so help will be greatly appreciated, and if there are any updated install instructions (especially for OSX Yosemite), that'd be great too.
Later,
Robert
