[solved]how Enable OpenVPN management console

[lamtota]

Hi all,

I'd need a template to monitor the number of open/active OpenVPN connections.
Is there a known way to do this with webmin? Has anyone already a solution for this issue?

why when I enter the script management localhost 7505 has always had an error
openvpn will not run

Many thanks in advance
sorry i can not write properly, because I'm Indonesian

I run openvpn with webmin

port 1194
proto udp
dev tun0
ca keys/myvpn/ca.crt
cert keys/myvpn/serverkey.crt
key keys/myvpn/serverkey.key
dh keys/myvpn/dh2048.pem
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist servers/server/logs/ipp.txt
tls-auth servers/server/ta.key 0
cipher AES-256-CBC
user nobody
group adm
status servers/server/logs/openvpn-status.log
log-append servers/server/logs/openvpn.log
verb 2
mute 20
max-clients 100
local 83.222.xxx.xxx
keepalive 5 30
client-config-dir /etc/openvpn/servers/server/ccd
tls-server
comp-lzo
persist-key
persist-tun
ccd-exclusive
push "redirect-gateway def1"
push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8"
push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.4.4"
management localhost 7505

when I run
[root@livecd ~]# /etc/init.d/openvpn start
Starting openvpn: [FAILED]

when I delete management localhost 7505
[root@livecd ~]# /etc/init.d/openvpn start
Starting openvpn: [ OK ]

I want to enable as shown below



what's the solution?

[Bebop]

[root@livecd ~]# /etc/init.d/openvpn start
Starting openvpn: [FAILED]

when I delete management localhost 7505
[root@livecd ~]# /etc/init.d/openvpn start
Starting openvpn: [ OK ]

maikat will also want to see the content of your log "servers/server/logs/openvpn.log", and set the verb to 3.

so the answer to above will be more obvious.

before starting openvpn, what does

Code: Select all

lsof -i :7505

show ? is another process already listening on that port? can you try using port 7506?
