Ubuntu 10.10 Certificate error

Post by Reds » Tue Jan 10, 2012 4:35 am

Hi, I used this guide http://www.putdispenserhere.com/openvpn ... or-openvz/
And when I tried to connect, I get a certificate error. I've been trying to use OpenVPN for 1 week now and all of them fail... i hope you guys can help me out because I'm about to give up.

I am using a VPS to install the server and using a windows 7 desktop to connect.

Code: Select all

Tue Jan 10 12:25:06 2012 OpenVPN 2.0.9 Win32-MinGW [SSL] [LZO] built on Oct  1 2006
Tue Jan 10 12:25:06 2012 IMPORTANT: OpenVPN's default port number is now 1194, based on an official port number assignment by IANA.  OpenVPN 2.0-beta16 and earlier used 5000 as the default port.
Tue Jan 10 12:25:06 2012 WARNING: No server certificate verification method has been enabled.  See http://openvpn.net/howto.html#mitm for more info.

hi there,

this error :

Cannot load certificate file test1.crt

means that openvpn cant find file test1.crt

check its path,name..

also

for win7 use openvpn ver 2.1.4 and above..

Ok problem solved. It's actually the seller's side coz he had to run some commands I found on the net and it worked.

But now, I am on a different server and I cant seem to get it working on this one. It is having a different output than the previous IPTables problem. Anybody can decypher this or have any solutions? This time I'm running CentOS.
