[solved] Problem with OpenVPN
 

I´ve a little problem with my N900 and OpenVPN. If i try to establish a VPN connection i get the error "socket.connetc() faild". If i try to establish the connection manually via console with my config, can i see the whole error (same as i see in my syslog file):
options error: unrecognized options or missing parameter(s) in /etc/openvpn/Home.ovpn:1: client
if i change the order for example "client" with "dev tap" i get the same error just with "dev" instead of client (Home.ovpn:1: dev) and so on.

Home.ovpn:

check that your config file is not DOS format.

cat -ve /etc/openvpn/Home.ovpn

How do you edit the config file? Maybe there is something wrong with the line end (CR + LF instead of CR).

What happens, if you add lines on top of the file with a local editor like vi?

what is Code: in the first line?

Re: Problem with OpenVPN
 

cat -ve isn´t possible :-(

Just the [code] tag, now it should be correct, sry.

In vim everything is still looking fine.

With PR 1.2 there was no problem with the same config, i´ve this problem since PR 1.3. I get also the same error if the first line is a comment or a single "#" he says to anything error :mad:.

debugging isn´t possible because of this error he doesn´t start the initialisation of VPN.

Can you enter the openvpn command manually in a console with all your configuration as argument:
openvpn --client --dev tap ...
Maybe we can find out more from the resulting messages.

You have to be root for that.

I´ve tried by console and everything is fine... Configfile still don´t working...

Re: Problem with OpenVPN
 

OK, so we know now for sure, the problem has to be the config file itself or the GUI.

Please try this as root:

openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/Home.conf

If this is working, there is something wrong with the GUI.
If this fails, then I have to start guessing. Things you could try:
- get hexdump to the phone or the config file to the PC and look into the file with a hexeditor
- create a complete new file with vi on the phone
- chmod 644 /etc/openvpn/Home.conf
- chown root:root /etc/openvpn/Home.conf
- renaming Home.conf to something like home.conf
