OpenVPN Support Forum

I am running the Virtual Appliance VMware ESXI using Oracle Virtualbox and managed to get it working with no issues. Initially.

When I power off the VM and turn on the VM again. I login with the default password and username (openvpnas, root) but now the server is not running. What is the command to start the server?

Hello ckttkt,

Perhaps the 'power off' action was a bit rough, and it should actually be using a more graceful shutdown method?

In any case, try:
service openvpnas restart

If the system still doesn't come up, maybe a configuration you did earlier was incorrect and now the Access Server refuses to start because of that. You can examine the /var/log/openvpnas.log file for error message. If it contains anything sensitive please direct your question to our support ticket system at https://openvpn.net/support instead of here.

Kind regards,
Johan
