How can I check if a port is open on my sme server
I opened it via port forward and it shows on my sme server
but when I run mapping software it diesn't show
is there there a config file that I can check
-
which port are you trying to open?
-
1194 for open vpn
I put in the source port as 1194 to localhost and the destination port as 1194 and it is a udp port.
-
What method of opening the port did you use?
-
which version of openvpn are you installing?
-
I used the port forward with server manager
version 2
-
If you are using routed mode of open vpn, the how to http://wiki.contribs.org/OpenVPN has the rpm to open the port.
Is the connection to the internet through as router?
-
Yes it is through a router
I installed rpm -Uvh http://sme.swerts-knudsen.com/downloads/dmc-mitel-portopening-0.0.1-4.noarch.rpm
What does it mean by this Install the port opener and ensure to update the navigation panel

That's a really old rpm from sme5.6 days. You should not install that on sme7.x
There is already a port forwarding & opening panel in sme7.x server manager that you can use.
I suggest you read the manual, especially the part about the port forwarding & opening panel in server manager.
-
thanks will do
-
is the port forwarding and opening panel that smae. How can I check if the port is actually opened
-
Have you forwarded the port in your router?
-
I am in a difficult situation where the isp gives us no access to the router. They say all ports are open and NAT is disabled on the router, and as I understand sme does nat

well, let's clarify..
- you have a router without nat and without any filter on ports/protocols, right?
- you have a SME server in server+gateway mode with a public IP on wan side, right?
- you are installing openvpn on that server
if so, I think you'd not need any portforward..

openvpn says that port 1194 must be forwarded. I can connect to the sme but cant see any shared drives
-
lional
port 1194 must be forwarded if you are behind a router.. if your openvpn service is up and running on SME, and your server is directly exposed to wan, you definitely don't need port-forward.
make sure service is running and listening:
netstat -napt | grep 1194
and make sure that openvpn is visible on the wan side
please post here the result of
config show openvpn
and search info for the DB PublicAccess variable

did you setup openvpn parameters via the server-manager panel?
BTW, in my previous post there was a typo.. it should be
netstat -nap | grep 1194
please post the result of
ls -la /home/e-smith/db/open*
/sbin/e-smith/db configuration show | grep openvpn
Ciao
Stefano

when I type in ls -la /home/e-smith/db/open* I get no such file or directory

-
will this work if I am behind a router, with my sme in server gateway mode
-
can I download the certificates from sme to xp remotely
-
I have installed the openvpn-bridge and that seems to work fine, My problem comes with teh XP client. I have chosen method one that only works on the username and password and this doesn't create any client certificates. OpenVPN on xp needs a VPN.ovpn file to start. what will the format be if I have chosen method 1
