OpenVPN and VPNC Issues

[kingdavidbaker]

I am unable to get either OpenVPN or VPNC to work on my LG Optimus S so I can connect to my work's network which i generally use a cisco client for on my computer. I have rooted the phone and was originally on thuderom however I switch back to my stock rom and installed xionia kernel which includes the tun.ko module. I used lsmod and verfied the module is loaded. I have superuser installed and functioning properly.

When trying to install VPNC it says my phone is not rooted, does not have superuser access, and does not have the tun.ko module. I have all of these and verified they work so I'm not sure why this is having issues.

OpenVPN comes much closer and when I view the log I see the following error:

mountPoint /dev/block/mtdblock5 on /
system type yaffs2 [relatime, rw]
/system is already mounted read-write
copying openvpn to /system/bin/openvpn
executing 'su -c cp '/sdcard/openvpn.
mem57168tmp' '/system/bin/openvpn';
chmod 555 '/system/bin/openvpn
STDERR: cp: not found
STDERR: Unable to chmod /system/bin/
openvpn: No such file or directory
exit code 10
making binary executable
executing 'su -c chmod 555 '/system/bin/
openvpn"
STDERR: Unable to chmod /system/bin/
openvpn: No such file or directory
exit code 10

After searching for "cp not found" everyone suggests installing busybox even though I already have it. So I completed the following steps again:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /system /system
cd /data/local/tmp
./busybox cp su /system/bin
./busybox cp busybox /system/bin
cd /system/bin
chmod 4755 su
chmod 4755 busybox
exit
exit

The commands work properly without errors but still no luck with the openvpn installer. Then I read that TitaniumBackup installs the latest busybox so I installed that as well and still no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Got OpenVPN to install after installing the BusyBox app found on the market or on appbrain.

BusyBox - Android app on AppBrain

Still working on configuring it to work.

Check if the directory that busybox resides in is in your system path. Run "echo $PATH" in a terminal. If you don't see the path for busybox in there you'll need to add it using something like "export PATH=<filepath>ATH".

OpenVPN takes a bit of configuring so I tried VPNC again after installing the BusyBox app from the marketplace and it works perfectly now. VPN is functioning like a dream!
