This is exactly the problem I encountered and which needs fixing. As a work around, I added a link to openssl-1.0.0.cnf with the name of openssl.cnf in the same directory:
cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa sudo ln -s openssl-1.0.0.cnf openssl.cnf This worked, created the necessary certificate file and it is all working fine now. But that means that something is wrong with the package, as it seems to be missing a file. It also strikes me that there may be a missing openssl-1.0.1.cnf file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openvpn in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998918 Title: openvpn openssl.cnf file missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvpn/+bug/998918/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
