The OpenVPN Tutorial on LowEndBox
Following this tutorial, http://lowendbox.com/blog/getting-started-with-openvpn-server/,
I am unable to proceed after entering this particular command.
sudo tar xvzf easy-rsa.tar.gz -C /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa –strip-components=3 easy-rsa-2.2.0/easy-rsa/2.0/
The error message I get is:
tar: /etc/openvpn/easy-strip-components=3: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Comments
mkdir /etc/openvpn /etc/openvpn/easy-strip-components=3
Because the option of tar is called
--strip-components. Mind the two dashes. See the manual of tar.Adding an extra dash seem to work. Thank you!
sudo cp server.crt server.key ca.crt dh1024.pem ta.key ../../
getting this error message:
cp: cannot stat
server.crt': No such file or directory cp: cannot statserver.key': No such file or directoryI think the author is trying to copy a whole bunch of keys into the two previous directory.
I also had issues with lost dashes when copy/pasting some of the commands from that guide, character encoding I guess.
