v1.11 OpenVPN plugin does not work

[pbix]

On 8MB Flash routers OpenVPN must be install via plugin. After installing v1.11 on my 1043ND v3 router I inserted a flash drive and made it my plugin root. I then installed the OpenVPN plugin.

However, OpenVPN will not enable. Looking at logread I see:

Code: Select all

hu Feb 21 19:05:59 2019 daemon.err uhttpd[2905]: /tmp/tmp.sh: line 45: /etc/init.d/openvpn: not found

Looking at /etc/init.d I find

Code: Select all

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            31 Feb 21 18:56 openvpn -> /plugin_root/etc/init.d/openvpn

Looking at plugin_root I see

Code: Select all

root@Gargoyle:~# ls -l /plugin_root/etc
drwxrwxrwx    2 root     root         16384 Feb 21 18:56 uci-defaults
root@Gargoyle:~# 

Looks like the OpenVPN plugin does not correctly install to me.

Will look at this in the evening.
EDIT: I need to build a custom firmware to simulate a smaller device (as i don't own any) so it will take a bit of time.

Looked into this, have ideas.
By any chance, is the USB flash drive you installed FAT16/32 ??

[pbix]

From fsck.fat

Code: Select all

Boot sector contents:
System ID "MSDOS5.0"
Media byte 0xf8 (hard disk)
       512 bytes per logical sector
     16384 bytes per cluster
         2 reserved sectors
First FAT starts at byte 1024 (sector 2)
         2 FATs, 16 bit entries
    124416 bytes per FAT (= 243 sectors)
Root directory starts at byte 249856 (sector 488)
       512 root directory entries
Data area starts at byte 266240 (sector 520)
     62126 data clusters (1017872384 bytes)
63 sectors/track, 255 heads
        32 hidden sectors
   1988576 sectors total

Ok. I think the issue is FAT. Are you able to format to EXT4 from within Gargoyle and try again? Should work ok.
I’m tracking the same issue in another thread here;
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=11900

Looks like a simple fix and ongoing sone kind of blocker to prevent.

Formated my USB stick on my Linux machine and now it seems to be working. I see the below in my file system.

What ever links are used don't look the same as when it was FAT32. Not a file system guru so not sure what the issue is.

Anyway thanks for your help on this.

[Lantis]

All good
I’m not a guru either. I did implement my own FAT file system as part of an assignment at university but it was only very simple. The concept of symlinks was never a criteria
