I have created an EC2 instance of OpenVPN 2.0.7 in Amazon AWS.
I have followed the installation instructions and have setup the config in linux and then logged in a created a group and a user (using internal DB auth).
I have downloaded the client from the server just installed from https://<myip>/>src=login
This shows up as having no VPN servers (although with 2.0.0 this was already configured with the user I had logged in with after running the .msi file)
I then click the download profile link for my user from the same server just installed, save the profile and import it into the client which reports successfully imported.
When i try to connect, i get an auth failure everytime. How is it possible that downloading the profile and client from the actual server does not have the right config to connect ? This was working in the earlier version i used on 15-Apr but i removed that to install this one and now am unable to login ?
As a side note, in Chrome, i am not able to get to the ?src=login page after first login, it always goes to the ?src=connect which means i had to open firefox to get the .ovpn files but dont think this should be any different once downloaded.
No log file is created in the directory for me to be able to post a specific error (although again earlier version was logging while it tried to connnect)

I should add i've tested with the firewall off and with importing both from the server and from local file.
Also note that downloading the autologin profile still prompts for the username and password but again, this didnt happen on the previous version.
Any help appreciated.

Found i had an error in the server log that I hadnt defined the group subnets so changed that and was able to connect.
Interesting things to note, if you uninstall OpenVPN GUI client using the uninstaller, it leaves behind the config and log directories.
If you then reinstall and request a different directory (e.g. OpenVPN GUI whose default directory is OpenVPN) to distinguish it from OpenVPN Connect (whose default directory is OpenVPN Client - probably a few coffees too many on that night guys 8-) ), when you try to start OpenVPN GUI, it provides an error, CreateProcess failed exe="C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn.exe" cmdline='openvpn --version' dir=C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin''
Shortcuts created by the installer look fine and point to openvpn-gui.exe but i guess something in that binary is hardcoded with the default path so it ignores the one you specified for installation.
