[Openvpn-users] OpenVPN Beginner

Hello, I am trying to set up an OpenVPN server to run on a FreeBSD
6-CURRENT system. The problem that I am having is getting the OpenVPN
server to even start. When attempting to start the server I get the
following error:

root@chiefwiggum# openvpn --config static.cfg
Sun Jan  1 12:18:27 2006 OpenVPN 2.0.5 i386-portbld-freebsd6.0 [SSL]
[LZO] built on Dec 19 2005
Sun Jan  1 12:18:27 2006 IMPORTANT: OpenVPN's default port number is now
1194, based on an official port number assignment by IANA.  OpenVPN
2.0-beta16 and earlier used 5000 as the default port.
Sun Jan  1 12:18:27 2006 Insufficient key material or header text not
found found in file 'keys/server.key' (0/128/256 bytes found/min/max)
Sun Jan  1 12:18:27 2006 Exiting

Once I got this error I searched for the error on Google but all I could
find was the source for the crypto.c file that generated this error.

So far the URLs that I have used to try to get my OpenVPN server up and
running have been:
  http://openvpn.net/howto.html#pki
  https://www.freebsd.uwaterloo.ca/twiki/bin/view/Freebsd/OpenVpnBridge
  and
 
http://www.section6.net/wiki/index.php/Setting_up_Routed_OpenVPN_in_FreeBSD

I'm sure there are things that I have left out but am not sure what
those are so please send me a message if you have any questions. I
appreciate any help that this community may be able to provide.

Thank you,

Ben
