Client Error

geoffpeters

Hello,

I have one client, Windows 7 Pro, who intermittently gets this message:
error opening logfile for writing: c:\programfiles (x86)\openvpn\log....

He is configured as an administrator.

This error does not happen every time he attempt a connection.

I would appreciate any assistance.

Thanks, Geoff

Check file security settings. I suppose that client not always use administrative privileges or some other software opens the file exclusively.

It turns out that the error does not occur if I manually stop the OpenVPN service.

Why should I have to do that?

I would think that right clicking the tray icon and selecting disconnect would have the same effect. If not, how can I guarantee that I do not get the error?

Thanks

Try the latest version of OpenVPN and do a full install. If this happens with stopping and starting from the tray icon, check your system for hijacks, system file consistency and system drive errors.
