but, today i will share my experience installing purplenet, i think its better, ok lets start.
A. install purplenet openvpn server gui administration
apt-get install bridge-utils vlan ebtables openvpn libapache2-mod-python postgresql python-psycopg2 python-django
note:
if you want to install by your self independently, you can use this way :
wget http://www.djangoproject.com/download/1.1.1/tarball/
tar zxf Django-1.1.1.tar.gz
cd Django-1.1.1
sudo cp -pr django /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/
then
python setup.py
B. Create Database for purplenet
sudo -u postgres createuser -S -D -R -l -P -E purplenet
sudo -u postgres createdb --encoding=UTF-8 --owner=purplenet purplenetdb
edit your hba
vim /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/pg_hba.conf
just like this :
host purplenetdb purplenet 127.0.0.1/32 md5
or
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
C. Install Purplenet
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/purplenet/files/purplenet-0.7.2/purplenet-0.7.2.tar.bz2/download
bzip2 -dc purplenet-0.7.2.tar.bz2 | tar xf -
mkdir -p /opt
sudo cp -r purplenet-0.7.2 /opt
sudo ln -s /opt/purplenet-0.7.2 /opt/purplenet
edit your seting.py
cd /opt/purplenet/purplenet
sudo cp settings.py.dist settings.py
vim /opt/purplenet/purplenet/settings.py
ADMINS = (
('Firstname Surname', 'firstname.surname@yourdomain'),
)
DATABASE_ENGINE = 'postgresql_psycopg2'
DATABASE_NAME = 'purplenetdb'
DATABASE_USER = 'purplenet'
DATABASE_PASSWORD = 'yourpassword'
DATABASE_HOST = '127.0.0.1'
DATABASE_PORT = '5432'
MEDIA_ROOT = '/opt/purplenet/media'
MEDIA_URL = 'http://servername/purplenet/media/'
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/purplenet/media/admin/'
SECRET_KEY = 'yourSecretKey'
LOGIN_URL = '/purplenet/login/'
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
'/opt/purplenet/templates',
)
FIXTURE_DIRS = (
'/opt/purplenet/fixtures'
)
PURPLENET_LOGOUT_URL = "http://servername/"
PURPLENET_SETUP_KEY = "yourOtherSecretKey"
edit your mkca.conf and openssl template
vim /opt/purplenet/libpurplenet/mkca.cnf
countryName_default = US
localityName_default = Montreal
organizationName_default = SuperFastVPN
organizationalUnitName_default = vpn
vim /opt/purplenet/templates/mkca/openssl.cnf
countryName_default = US
localityName_default = Montreal
organizationName_default = SuperFastVPN
organizationalUnitName_default = vpn
D. Create Database purplenet
cd /opt/purplenet
source env.sh
manage syncdb
.....
You just installed Django's auth system, which means you don't have any superusers defined.
Would you like to create one now? (yes/no): yes
Username (Leave blank to use 'someuser'): administrator
E-mail address: firstname.surname@organisation.com
Password:
Password (again):
Superuser created successfully.
Installing index for auth.Permission model
Installing index for auth.Message model
Installing index for admin.LogEntry model
....
this user will use to setup purplenet web.
E. Configure Apache
vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/default.
<Location /purplenet>
SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE purplenet.settings
PythonOption django.root /purplenet
PythonDebug On
PythonAutoReload On
PythonPath "['/opt/purplenet'] + sys.path"
PythonInterpreter purplenet
</Location>
Alias "/purplenet/media/admin" "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/media/"
Alias "/purplenet/media" "/opt/purplenet/media"
<Location /purplenet/media>
SetHandler None
</Location>
Apache needs now be restarted with the new configuration with the following
command:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
F. Configure CA Directory
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/purplenet/ca
sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/lib/purplenet/ca
sudo chmod 750 /var/lib/purplenet/ca
the last, enter to :
http://yourwebserver/purplenet/setup/
if you want to try this connection, you can download vpn tcp configuration
