Hello Ibrahim,

Logging in openvpn is dependent on these openvpn(8) settings:
  • --log
  • --log-append
  • --daemon
  • --cd (possibly)
Not knowing how you set yours up means we can't tell you where to look.

Also, it sounds likely that you need more basic help with your OS or distro. Check out their community support options.
