OPenVPN Server Down

I've had OpenVPN working for a couple of weeks now. However, last night, my son tried to log in from his Mom's house and couldn't connect. I logged in and noticed that it said the OpenVPN server was stopped. I tried restarting it and starting it and it still won't work. I also tired restarting the server and all of the clients and it's still stopped. I also noticed MariaDB is stopped and can't be started.
I also tried stopping all firewalls which had gotten it to work previously and that didn't work either.
I'm using Fedora 23/Amahi 9

I also noticed MariaDB is stopped and can't be started.
First try this:
Code: Select all
sudo systemctl restart mariadb
sudo systemctl status mariadb
Next do the same for OpenVPN:
Code: Select all
sudo systemctl restart openvpn@amahi
sudo systemctl status openvpn@amahi
If you see any errors from the status commands, please report them here.
Also if you have not done so, recommend you ensure the OS is updated:
A reboot might be needed after the update.

I updated before trying both of those. It looked like it would work. Both of the statuses in the resulting code said active (running), however, after restarting, when I went to the dashboard both were stopped and could not be restarted from the dashboard.

There's bug report for both MariaDB and OpenVPN Dashboard status,
bug 1802 and
bug 1910 respectively.
As long as the command line verified them as running, there should be no issues.
Note the bug reports include a potential solution that you can try.

Is this resolved?
