Failed to create certificate when I want to start the source. / vars and. / clean-all

I found a similar thread, but it still does not fix my problem. ( OpenVPN Source vars does not work on debian )

I installed OpenVPN according to https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/openvpn.html

and there was a problem when I tried to create my certificate according to the following guide:

cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/ ## move to the easy-rsa directory sudo chown -R root:admin . ## make this directory writable by the system administrators source ./vars ## execute your new vars file ./clean-all ## Setup the easy-rsa directory (Deletes all keys) ./build-dh ## takes a while consider backgrounding ./pkitool --initca ## creates ca cert and key ./pkitool --server server ## creates a server cert and key cd keys openvpn --genkey --secret ta.key ## Build a TLS key cp server.crt server.key ca.crt dh1024.pem ta.key ../../

when i try:

 source ./vars

the shell returns me:

 NOTE: If you run ./clean-all, I will be doing a rm -r on /etc/openvpv/easy-rsa/keys

I ignored it and tried the following line:

 sudo ./clean-all

Then he says:

 Please source the vars script first (ie "source ./vars") Make sure you have edited it to reflect your configuration

I searched on google and stackoverflow, could not solve the problem.

thanks for the help

Can anyone help me?

  • Reboot the computer.
  • Open a terminal and enter sudo su to log in as root
  • go to the easy-rsa directory (on mine, the files are in easy-rsa / 2.0 /)
  • enter mkdir keys
  • type of source. / vars
  • type./clean-all

  • type./build-ca

    all the same commands as before, but having created the keys and actually registered as root, instead of starting it with sudo, it seemed to do the trick
