[quote="zschallz"]Having the same issue in Cent OS 5.6.[/quote] Thanks for reporting the OS version. I wonder if others have the same OS. The more info you can provide, the better.

When I try to start server [b]"iptables service not started because of error (SVC_RUN_EXCEPT)"[/b]. How do I fix this problem?

To resolve the error message "iptables service not started because of error (SVC_RUN_EXCEPT)" on a dedicated server centOS5.6 x86_64 running php_v5.2.16. It appears some package files went missing or got corrupted. So a forced re-install/upgrade appears to have solved the problem. # rpm -Uvh --force openvpn-as-1.8.3-CentOS5.x86_64.rpm

SVC_RUN_EXCEPT-cannot start server

BiiRO

Seems this is going on and on with no fix? Has anyone fixed this ? (CentOS 5 x64)

Run the commands in this post : http://www.openvpn.net/index.php/access-server/docs/admin-guides/186-how-to-run-access-server-on-a-vps-container.html

For #6, If you don't already have the VPN installed, install it. If you DO already have the VPN installed, then reboot the server/container where it resides.
