sysadminpower2019 commented 7 months ago

I am trying to run ./easyrsa upgrade ca previously that had told me to move my vars file to the pki directory. I did just that and this is the error message i get now

Using Easy-RSA configuration: /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/pki/vars

Easy-RSA error:

vars file not found

It almost seems like it found the file but isnt using it for some reason

Hi, I cannot replicate this problem at all.

Try moving your vars file back to where it was previously and try again.

in the previous folder the error is

The preferred location for 'vars' is within the PKI folder. To silence this message move your 'vars' file to your PKI or declare your 'vars' file with option: --vars=

so no matter what i do it doesnt seem to work correctly

You can ignore the message about moving your vars file. Ref: #1009

Is there another problem ?
