this shows that *something* already runs at this specific port
you must start openvpn as root
In the server script i gave user and group as nobody. But when I do "sudo service openvpn start", it works.
I have "chkconfig openvpn on", and its just supposed to start the service. but it does not!!!

use lsof -i to check if the port is in use..

ps:i believe you have only one config file into /etc/openvpn directory,
if you have more make sure that they use different ports.
There is only one config file. And that works fine. I have been using it for 1 week now. Other than the fact that I have to start it manually it hasnt given me any trouble.[Other than with Windows 7 clients, which I solved. PHEW!!!]
