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.

Post by **janjust** » Wed Oct 05, 2011 9:11 pm

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.

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

try the following

sudo lsof -i

does it shows only 2 entries?

>openvpn 2371 nobody 5u IPv4 199130 0t0 UDP *:openvpn

there is openvpn running....

please stop service and then:

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

and see if it comes up

Michael.

ps:how many .conf files are inside /etc/openvpn directory?
