SoftEther VPN doesn't support yum yet.

Please use 'install.sh' to build binaries.
And copy the binaries to certain directory manually.

Nothing special.
Simply, you should run './install.sh' in directory which you extracted archive.

.install.sh

and both not what it should be. (i am very new to linux, sorry)

SoftEther VPN needs some utilities to build binary.
* GNU make
* binutils
* gcc

And SoftEther VPN needs also some library.
* glibc
* zlib
* openssl
* readline
* ncurses

Please see installation manual.

Post by chemical349 » Fri Jun 21, 2013 10:20 am

i have did the following on a centos 5.8:

yum install make
yum install binutils
yum install gcc

curl -o /root/softether-vpnserver-v1.00-9091-rc3-2013.05.19-linux-x64-64bit.tar.gz http://www.softether-download.com/files ... bit.tar.gz

rpm -qa | grep -i ^glib
yum update glibc-*

yum update zlib-*
yum update openssl
yum update deadline
yum update ncurses

tar xzvf softether-vpnserver-v1.00-9091-rc3-2013.05.19-linux-x64-64bit.tar.gz

but i only see the following files
[root@localhost vpnserver]# ls -a
. Makefile ReadMeFirst_License.txt lib
.. ReadMeFirst_Important_Notices_en.txt code
.install.sh ReadMeFirst_Important_Notices_ja.txt hamcore.se2

i do not see the after, as written in the installation manuel.

[root@machine root]# tar xzvf vpnserver-5070-rtm-linux-x86.tar.gz

these are the missing files:
vpnserver/
vpnserver/vpnserver.a
vpnserver/vpncmd.a
vpnserver/libcrypto.a
vpnserver/Makefile
vpnserver/libssl.a

was that some steps i have missed?

seems like i have successfully install now ,but when i executate the ./vpncmd, and get the following error.

am i doing something wrong?


By using vpncmd program, the following can be achieved.

1. Management of VPN Server or VPN Bridge
2. Management of VPN Client
3. Use of VPN Tools (certificate creation and Network Traffic Speed Test Tool)

Select 1, 2 or 3: 1

Specify the host name or IP address of the computer that the destination VPN Server or VPN Bridge is operating on.
By specifying according to the format 'host name:port number', you can also specify the port number.
(When the port number is unspecified, 443 is used.)
If nothing is input and the Enter key is pressed, the connection will be made to the port number 8888 of localhost (this computer).
Hostname of IP Address of Destination:

If connecting to the server by Virtual Hub Admin Mode, please input the Virtual Hub name.
If connecting by server admin mode, please press Enter without inputting anything.
Specify Virtual Hub Name:
Error occurred. (Error code: 1)
Connection to the server failed. Check network connection and make sure that address and port number of destination sever are correct.
[root@localhost vpnserver]#
