Hey guys. I found a solution so in case someone has the same problem this will help i hope. I dont really get why this was happening. But when i was installing openvpn via YUM and make certs and stuff everything went good till that point when i get this error : Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in server.conf:5: ca (2.0.9) Use –help for more information. I dont know for what reason it was not working maybe it was not compiling the way it should. All i did was get the openvpn-*.tar.gz and just untar the file. tar -zxf openvpn-*.tar.gz cd openvpn ./configure make make install all went good then i made certs and conf files and everything is fine. Well i hope this will help to someone who has the same problem if it does pls post reply
