 |
|
I've tried to install and run openvpn, done everything as it was describet in gentoo wiki, but every time, I try to start it, I get following message:
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/openvpn start
* Starting openvpn...
* start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/openvpn'
* Check your logs to see why startup failed [ !! ]
* ERROR: openvpn failed to start
|
I tried to look for log files in /var/log, but there were no files related to openvpn, I've also checked if /usr/sbin/openvpn exists and it does, so I really don't know why it doesn't want to start.
Do you have any ideas?
So far I tried to emerge 2.0.6 and 2.1_rc20.[/url] |

If there are no openvpn specific log files, then check /var/log/messages instead. |

You can define a log file in your server.conf, e.g.
| Code: |
log-append /var/log/openvpn.log

Many thanks.
I found a tipe error I didn't see in /var/log/messages with the "log-append /var/log/openvpn.log" option. |
