Hello guys I have a very strange problem i can not find anything about it in google. So i want to ask here can someone help me. I have installed and configured everything as i should lzo and openvpn are installed. I have generated all the keys for the server and i have done the server.conf file like this:
dev tun
proto tcp
port 1194
ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key
dh dh1024.pem
user nobody
group nogroup
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
my crt and key files are in the same directory as my config file. but when i do
]# openvpn –config server.conf
Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in server.conf:5: ca (2.0.9)
Use –help for more information.
I get this unusual error and i can not find out why it this happening whats wrong with ca ca.crt line
Please help me.
I found a solution so in case someone has the same problem this i help i hope.
I dont really get why this was not happening. But when i was installing openvpn via YUM and make certs and stuff everything went good till that point when i get this error :
Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in server.conf:5: ca (2.0.9)
Use –help for more information.
I dont know for what reason it was not working maybe it was not compiling the way it should. All i did was get the openvpn-*.tar.gz and just untar the file.
tar -zxf openvpn-*.tar.gz
cd openvpn
./configure
make
make install
all went good then i made certs and conf files and everything is fine.
Well i hope this will help to someone who has the same problem if it does pls post reply
