Update to 2.8.7 from 2.7.4 broke OpenVPN AS?

jockebq

Hi,

Just followed the Debian install for Debian 9, the Install via repository. This went well. But now I cannot get OpenVPN AS to run again.
Trying to start it fails.

Job for openvpnas.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status openvpnas.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

After doing what it says above this is the information I get:

 openvpnas.service - OpenVPN Access Server Service
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/openvpnas.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

I have tried to search for this issue, but I cannot find anything relevant to this?
Any idea on how to get it up and running?

This is the install process, I cannot spot anything here (reran the install, as you can see):

openvpn-as is already the newest version (2.8.7-c7d6c210-Debian9).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

The log file for OpenVPN AS only has logs from the working version, as it won't even start, it won't log.
And the output on the failed start gives me nothing!
