I have an OpenVPN Server running and when I try to restart it seems like there is no effect. I have tried the following 3 steps:
systemctl stop openvpn-server@myserver.service
systemctl enable openvpn-server@myserver.service
systemctl start openvpn-server@myserver.service
Apart from the fact that during all these steps my connection with the server continued without any problem, after the 3rd step this error appeared:
"Job for openvpn-server@serveranq.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status openvpn-server@serveranq.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details."
systemctl status openvpn-server@myserver.service shows:
Status message
openvpn-server@myserver.service - OpenVPN service for myserver
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/openvpn-server@.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Process: 3274859 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/openvpn --status /run/openvpn-server/status-myserver.log --status-version 2 --suppress-timestamps --config serveranq.conf (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
Main PID: 3274859 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
Why is the service activating (auto-restart) and what could cause it?
