Hi, all.
I just got my Amahi system up and running. I purchased the OpenVPN app and installed it on the system, however, the service will not start. Every time I press Start or Restart in the web control panel it spins for a bit and then comes back with a red light, not running.
I can't find any logs that might tell me why it is refusing to start. Note, this is not connectivity related but just trying to start the process.
Any ideas on where I can look to see what's failing?
OpenVPN not starting

Hello,
The dashboard server may not be accurately reporting the status. Recommend you try this from the command line as root:
If it reports all is ok, then don't worry about the dashboard status for now. Would also request that you add your experience to this bug report.

Re: OpenVPN not starting
BTW, it appears there is a permission issue that can be resolved by doing the following as root user:
Once you do that, the server will show as running. We are working on a permanent solution as a reboot is likely to cause the issue to reappear.
Code: Select all
chmod 755 -R /var/run/openvpn

Re: OpenVPN not starting
Thank you for the advice. I did this and there doesn't appear to be any change:
OpenVPN service still shows as down in the control panel. However, I notice from the startup scripts that it is looking for interface tun0. I don't have a tun0:
Suggestion? This is after a reboot, BTW.

[root@localhost ~]# chmod 755 -R /var/run/openvpn
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl status openvpn\@amahi.service

Re: OpenVPN not starting
Hmmmm. Please add this to the bug:
https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1204
Not sure what else you can do other than uninstall, reboot, then reinstall. We will have to take a look at the app to see what the problem could be once we have your input.
Please provide as many details as possible. Also check /var/log/amahi-app-installer.log for errors.
