I just gave it a try for the first time ever. A couple years back I applied for a Log of the World certificate and never really took it any further. I guess I forgot.

Mistake #1 for me was only backing up the KB9MWR.p12 and KB9MWR.tq6 files a couple years ago. That was on a former computer. I should have backup up the whole, C:\Documents and Settings\your-username\Application Data\TrustedQSL directory, or just completed the process and made the openvpn keys back then.

Anyway no big deal, just a few more hoops to have the certificates re-issued.

I just followed this, for a CentOS 5 system and it took right off:

Make sure you have these files in your /etc/openvpn directory: amprnet-vpn-ca.crt client.conf client.crt client.key

Aside from that we are going to need a bit more detail to further help you. What does the openvpn daemon say when you start it?
