Fedora 38 installation issue

Post by wspivak » Tue Jun 06, 2023 12:01 pm

I went to:


OpenVPN - Fedora Project Wiki
[url]https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/ ... wiki/82142[/url

To install a VPN on my server, or at least attempt it.

"Edit Vars" I believe is the /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/openssl-easyrsa.cnf file, which I didn't change.

If my assumption is wrong, then it may explain the error on step 11, where I got this error:
cp: cannot stat 'keys/mcq.crt': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat 'keys/mcq.key': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat 'keys/ca.crt': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat 'keys/dh*.pem': No such file or directory
I am currently stumped.

Thank you.

Tried this tutorial as well. Good intentions, but step 11 doesn't make sense to me, even if I understand that they want to copy out all relevant files to the new keys directory in one line (that -a flag wasn't too obvious). Syntax seems either shady or very advanced. You get past that by doing it manually. However, you could just drop the files in the parent directory as well.

It also omits how to create a .ovpn file which can be handy.

I had a working set up but certs had to be renewed. Followed that tutorial, now nothing works :P Probably due to some nopass issue.
