I'm trying to configure OpenVPN on my CentOS7 64bit.

This is how I went about doing this.

Code: wget http://swupdate.openvpn.org/as/openv...OS7.x86_64.rpm
Code: rpm install openvpn-as-2.0.10-CentOS7.x86_64.rpm

When i went to https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:964/admin
Logged in as admin and the server is off I try to click "Start the Server" and i get an error.

Donald,
Is there any reason why you have installed OpenVPN using rpm?
Unless there is a very good reason you should always install using yum
It's available in the epel repo.

$ yum info openvpn
Available Packages
Name : openvpn
Arch : x86_64
Version : 2.3.2
Release : 4.el7
Size : 419 k
Repo : epel/x86_64
Summary : A full-featured SSL VPN solution
URL : http://openvpn.net/
License : GPLv2
Description : OpenVPN is a robust and highly flexible tunneling application that
: uses all of the encryption, authentication, and certification
: features of the OpenSSL library to securely tunnel IP networks
: over a single UDP or TCP port. It can use the Marcus Franz Xaver
: Johannes Oberhumer's LZO library for compression.

So if I were you I'd start again and undo what you have done already if that's possible.

then as su do a

yum install openvpn

then read the manual

man openvpn

Is there any reason you are not using command line ?
ONLY A PERSONAL note when I say Linux is made to work in command line, that way you learn so much quicker and understand better than clicking buttons in a GUI interface.

Now that this is out of the way ...

It is very simple indeed.

DO the " yum install openvpn" step and see if it installs 100%

To verify do the command

rpm -qa | grep -i vpn

This should give you all programs with the word "vpn" in them. You must see the main binary installed, called openvpn-2.3 blah blah etc.

It doenst seem to find the package.

I figured it out.

CentOS 7 does not include ifconfig which is located in the net-tools package. OpenVPN requires ifconfig in order to properly operate.

so i installed ran Code: yum install net-tools

Why do you guys not recommend using rpm vs yum for openvpn?

man yum

DESCRIPTION
yum is an interactive, rpm based, package manager. It can automatically
perform system updates, including dependency analysis and obsolete pro‐
cessing based on "repository" metadata.


It can automatically perform system updates as it is a superset of rpm.

Can someone help me find out which repo I need to add to my repo list for openvpn?

carefully reread my first reply to you.
