server inaccessible after running Debian package updates

Post by amrando » Sat Apr 06, 2013 7:44 pm

hello all-

I have had an OpenVPN server running successfully now for over a month with no problems after following the setup guides. However today I ran routine maintenance on numerous machines including updating packages on this server, using apt-get dist-upgrade. The system found and installed 39 package updates from the Debian repository, and after rebooting the server the VPN server interface (web and access) do not come up. I can log in at the console, the server is on the network and responds to ping but it appears the openvpn-as package or some prerequisite has been broken. How would I troubleshoot this to repair or restore ideally without removing the existing configuration?

Please send us the logfiles and configfiles of your server.

OpenVPN logging on Debian can usually be found in /var/log/syslog or other files when configured manually.
