hi there,

as you can see in the header i have some serious problems configuring openvpn starting at boottime.
i've read several howto's and i am sitting here for hours with no result.
everything works fine except the startup of openvpn. i really don't want to start it manually everytime.
hopefully sombody have a solution.
please

i don't have ideas anymore

sincerely

vincent

Hello,
I don't know which init.d script you are using but you might want to try :

/etc/init.d/openvpn enable

This should add a run level link in your /etc/rc.d/ directory:

/etc/rc.d/S70openvpn -> /etc/init.d/openvpn

If it doesn't work, you can try to add it manually

ln -s /etc/init.d/openvpn /etc/rc.d/S55openvpn

I don't know if this is required but you can also add the stop script link:

ln -s /etc/init.d/openvpn /etc/rc.d/K30openvpn

Tex

this is my startup script

########################################
#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common
# Copyright (C) 2007 OpenWrt.org

START=70
BIN=openvpn
DEFAULT=/etc/default/$BIN
RUN_D=/var/run
PID_F=$RUN_D/$BIN.pid

start() {
        [ -f $DEFAULT ] && . $DEFAULT
        mkdir -p $RUN_D
        $BIN --writepid $RUN_D/$BIN.pid --daemon $OPTIONS
}

stop() {
        [ -f $PID_F ] && kill $(cat $PID_F)
}
########################################

and this worked for me

/etc/init.d/openvpn enable

thank you very much.....

Hello,
did you managed to make it run with your start up script ? For me yours doesn"t work. I have to use this one :
