site to site route dont applied on server

ahiyaz

hi All

i have a community ver OpenVpn server for site to site connectivity.
server and client versions are OpenVPN 2.4.4
server and client OS is Ubuntu 18.0.4.
i already have two sites that work perfectly but for some reason, the new site don't apply the remote site routes to the server.
iv configure the iroute statement under ccd folder in a file named like the.crt and .key files.
ive configure a route statement under server.conf.
in syslog i do see that the route is being applied but when i execute ip route i don't see that the route exists on the server.

any ideas??
appreciate any help

thanks

hi

any ideas? I've tried to increase the logs level (to 11) but there was no additional info.
I'm pretty stuck here and will really appreciate the help.

thanks

So what does ip route show ?

ahiyaz

thanks for replying.
the routing table shows only the previous site's routes.
the wired thing is there no errors in the syslog even when the log level is 11.

root@OV-serv:/etc/openvpn/server# ip route
default via 172.30.0.1 dev eth0 proto dhcp src 172.30.0.139 metric 100

ahiyaz wrote below is the syslog tail output from the server
