openvpn service will not start

Postby dnbalt » Sat Apr 11, 2009 12:18 pm

When try to restart the openvpn service receive following error:
Starting openvpn: /etc/init.d/openvpn: line 150: 6889 Segmentation fault $openvpn --daemon --writepid $piddir/$bn.pid --config $c --cd $work $script_security
[FAILED]

I am not a linux expert an can't understand what the problem is.

Here is the part of etc/init.d/openvpn from the above err

$openvpn --daemon --writepid $piddir/$bn.pid --config $c --cd $work $script_security
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
successes=1
else
errors=1
fi
done
Appreciate any help!

whoa!

Code: Select all

Segmentation fault
is a crash of the openvpn server. pretty bad. we do not see this much at all.

did your installation go well?

is your RAM all ok or do you experience random crashes?
if so, maybe your system is flaky or you are pushing it too far (if you are overclocking it).

perhaps you have some flaky DIMMs?

Thank you for the reply.
Everything else is working fine. The system has no crashes and the network is working. Server is accessible through home network.

Is the openvpn also responsible that my HDA cannot start? It says "Rails application failed to start properly".

What should I have to do?

the vpn server has nothing to do with the hda pages not starting. try

Code: Select all

rpm -V openvpn
which will verify the openvpn package. you can also try

Code: Select all

yum update openvpn
in the off-chance that something was screwed up and a new release, if any, fixes it.

for rails not starting properly, try looking at the end of the log with:

Code: Select all

less /var/hda/platform/html/log/production.log
then press G to go to the end of the file.

sounds like there is something screwy going on with the system ...

i saw you came by the irc, but most people were out. stop by again and hang out for a while.
