hi there,

please post server config,

also use lsof -i to determine if openvpn ports are already in use
please remember if you use managment console,it also binds to tcp port as well...

Michael.

janjust

seems like the openvpn server process is already running ; don't just start the openvpn script (my bet is you're running ubuntu) , use a 'restart' instead.

hi
my server conf is running on ubuntu 11.04

vino-serv 4122 steve 18u IPv4 643385 0t0 TCP *:5900 (LISTEN)

after some time i came to the same conclusion that the server was already running however when i try to restart i get the message that it has failed is it the restart script that i am using ? i have also try a stop script and then a manually restart with the same out come

~$ sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn restart
* Stopping virtual private network daemon(s)... * No VPN is running.
* Starting virtual private network daemon(s)... * Autostarting VPN 'server' [fail]

thanks for any help

maikcat

try the following

sudo lsof -i

please stop service and then:

openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/server.conf

and see if it comes up

Michael.
