Openvpn wont startup

Distro Discussion & Help
1

Hi,

I am running FreePBX 14.0.1.4. In previous versions I have configured Openvpn to start with “service openvpn on” and “service openvpn start”

Trying this now in the latest version based on Centos 7 I run :“systemctl enable openvpn” and “systemctl start openvpn” but in both instances I get an error like:

[root@pbx /]# systemctl start openvpn Failed to start openvpn.service: Unit not found. [root@pbx /]# systemctl enable openvpn Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory [root@pbx /]# [root@pbx /]# systemctl list-unit-files | grep openvpn [email protected] disabled [email protected] disabled [email protected] disabled [root@pbx /]# systemctl enable openvpn@ Failed to execute operation: Unit name [email protected] is missing the instance name. [root@pbx /]# systemctl enable openvpn Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory [root@pbx /]# systemctl enable openvpn-client@ Failed to execute operation: Unit name [email protected] is missing the instance name. [root@pbx /]# systemctl enable openvpn-server@ Failed to execute operation: Unit name [email protected] is missing the instance name.

The ‘@’ symbol there is looking for a specific configuration file, eg the ‘instance name’ under the openvpn directory /etc/openvpn

eg if you had /etc/openvpn/myconfig.conf

then you’d run

systemctl start openvpn@myconfig

This is how we start and stop the support vpn and the phone vpn.

Along with that you’ll need to yum upgrade sangoma-pbx
