I am trying to follow step by step the VPN setup in the Ubuntu Server
Guide
https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/openvpn.html
And there are a bunch of errors!
It tells me to do the command:
sudo cp -r /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/2.0/ /etc/openvpn/
Then it says
edit /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/vars
There is no vars file. The copy command put the files in
/etc/openvpn/2.0/ not /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/
So I got the files moved to the right place so I can
edit /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/vars
Then it says to create the server certificates:
cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/easy-rsa
It should be
cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa
there us no /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/easy-rsa
Then it says enter:
source vars
Which works.
Then it says enter:
./clean-all
mkdir: cannot create directory '/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys': Permission Denied
Now what?
I can't find who I should send these errors to.
You would think someone would try the commands before
publishing them in a guide intended for a beginner.
This kind of documentation will kill Ubuntu.
