Linux Domain Controller

[Sparkum]

Wondering if anyone had any advice on this as well (for OpenVPN)

I thought I had the setup go so smooth last night, worked through a few errors but cant seem to get around this one.

thanks

You have a hostname conflict. What is the hostname of the system officially uname -n and what are the entries in /etc/hosts?

[Sparkum]

@scottalanmiller

uname -n is dc.pricehouse.ca

hosts is

[scottalanmiller]

Well you are missing the host entry for your server as a starting point. Let's at least get that fixed. The entry should be...

[ip address]     dc.pricehouse.ca  dc

If anything this experience has taught me I know nothing about Linux haha.

Havent looked into this one yet (going to start right now) but my kid is ""Maybe"" asleep so incase I get taken away wanted it up here

Strange when I went to sit back down I ended up getting a different error message..

[Sparkum]

Went through the how to again and found 2 mistakes that I rectified.

New error message

You have an error with in the server.conf file on line 85.

Edit: Tried to put this in a code block but it won't let me odd...

[Sparkum]

If I'm counting right line 85 is

dh2048.pem

[scottalanmiller]

When in vi just use this command to jump to line 85...

:85

[Sparkum]

Alright yep it was that was suppose to be

dh dh2048.pem

So I believe I'm getting closer.

Haha, alright so I set up the steps today to change the port, create new user, elevate all that (as I'm sure the people who are reading this saw)

Now my error is relating to the changes I made.
I assume the two things can work successfully together?

Im my constant posts on trying to get this going is annoying anyone just lemme know and I'll stop attempting this/asking a million questions haha
