Re: [Openvpn-users] /etc/init.d/openvpn does not work, manual is OK

David,

your /etc/init.d/openvpn.sh should start the server using the --config option to tell the server which config file to use. Maybe it is not reading the correct config information.

2nd: The S(tart) and K(ill) scripts will be run in the numerical order. So it could be the problem that you maybe try to start openvpn service before all your depending services (networking and so on) are correctly started. You can check if that is the reason by giving the S/K script the highest number of all scripts used in the directory you are using.

Hope this helps.

Stefan
