AS running in Amazon VPC, installs ok, but no Admin site?

Post by task351 » Mon Jan 21, 2013 6:56 am

Hi all, I've tried to solve this problem every way I know how, and am thoroughly stumped. I'm trying to set up an OpenVPN Access Server box in an Amazon VPC, and I've tried installing from the AMI (ami-8940cbe0) several times, using a few different instance types, inside and outside of the VPC, and then even installing fresh with the .deb (http://swupdate.openvpn.org/as/openvpn- ... amd_64.deb) into a new instance of Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS. And each time, it seems like the installer script runs fine, it tells me the initial configuration is complete, and to finish the configuration by logging into the Admin site, but that's where everything stops. When I hit xxxx:943/admin from my local machine, nothing loads. I can ping the server just fine, I SSH'd in to install everything, so I know I can get to the box, when I curl xxxx:943/admin I get "curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer" which is different than when I intentionally hit a port that isn't working such as xxxx:942 and get "curl: (7) couldn't connect to host". Port 443 also doesn't work. So it seems like everything is wired correctly, just that the server isn't responding to the request. I checked the logs on the box, and I don't see any errors as well. Help, any thought anyone? Thanks much in advance-
