[Openvpn-users] rookie mistake: deleted cert, now need to recreate

[Dan B. <db...@os...>]

Hi all,

I've deleted the jdoe.cert, jdoe.csr and jdoe.key files and now need to
recreate.  When I go through the build-key script, it errors out at the
end with a:

failed to update database
TXT_DB error number 2

Too late, but now I know I need to revoke the certificate instead of
deleting it.  When I try to revoke using ". ./vars; ./revoke-full jdoe"
it gives me the following:


Using configuration from /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/openssl.cnf
unable to load certificate
12699:error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start
line:pem_lib.c:647:Expecting: TRUSTED CERTIFICATE

12702:error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start

Can anyone tell me how to fix this mess I've created?

thanks,

Dan
