OpenVPN ALS Stopped

I have my home server and then I have set up Amahi servers for a few organizations. I recently upgraded all of them to Amahi 7 on Fedora 19. I have installed the OpenVPN and OpenVPN ALS apps. Now every one of the servers I manage say that the OpenVPN server has stopped. I believe this is also causing the OpenVPN ALS app to fail to work as well. Anyone know what is going on?

Execute the following command and post the results:
Code: Select all
systemctl status openvpn@amahi.service
If it shows running, your problem may be firewall or ISP related.

I will post those results a.s.a.p.
Funny thing is all I did was upgrade from Fedora 14 to 19 and then from Amahi 6 to Amahi 7. Everything else in my network is exactly the same and no change in ISP. OpenVPN worked before the upgrade.

Did you create new profiles on amahi.org or use the Fedora 14 existing ones?
If you used the existing ones, that may be part of your issue. We recommend generating new profiles as there are some things behind the scenes that have changed since Amahi 6 on Fedora 14 was released.

You would have to start over. No guarantee that's the issue. What is the result of the command I posted previously?

Shows it's running, so your issue is not the VPN. It is either a firewall, ISP, or something else blocking the connection.

If it is working why does OpenVPN ALS also say that its service is stopped on the Amahi web dashboard?

That is a different app, a clientless VPN. They are not one in the same.
It may not be running. To check it, you need to do:
