OpenVPN won't start on ubuntu - PID not found
- by you8301083
I am running ubuntu version 12.04 LTS and I have installed OpenVPN on it. After a while of troubleshooting why my client won't connect (I have generated keys and confligured the client), I ran 'service openvpn status' from the command line and received the following error:
could not access PID file for VPN 'server'
I have rebooted, started and restarted the service, but each time I check the status, I receive the PID error. I'm pretty sure that I can't connect because the service isn't running.
Where can I begin troubleshooting this? I don't know what to look for. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
