OpenVPN server on Ubuntu 12.04

Joy

Hi ML People, I was trying to set up the OpenVPN Server on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS .
I follow this steps on how to install the OpenVPN,
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-openvpn-access-server-on-ubuntu-12-04

I'm trying to install the openvpn package:
sudo apt-get install openvpn easy-rsa

But i got this error in return.
"root@trial:~# sudo apt-get install openvpn easy-rsa
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package easy-rsa"

I tried googling first before posting here, but i still can't make it work.
Thanks in advance.
Edit : I was stuck in this part and help please.

It's possible that packages for that old system no longer exist, although I feel like we ran into this issue back during that time period as well and it was a common issue. Is there a reason that you are installing 12.04, which is seven versions old?

See if this works:

cp -r /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/2.0/ /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/

I've been fiddling around with Ubuntu 12.04 and as @scottalanmiller has mentioned, it's really likely that all the repository is gone. I'm still trying to determine what I can use my C@C box for... other that cloud vapor...

Ah well.. I keep hoping,. not not holding out on it.

I was about to create a MySQL database for our Freeradius, but upon entering this command i got this error
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

Anyone can you please point me out what is missing here?

Joy

Is there anyway i can Completely Remove MySQL Ubuntu?

To remove mysql completely from your system Just type in terminal

sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean

Can you post your my.cnf details?

Hi guys, I already figured out my problem. Thanks to @Ambarishrh

The problem now is " We need to enable the TUN/TAP which can be done from side of VPS Provider.
