Following are the steps I took to overcome the problem. Unfortunately, I can not tell you exactly which one was the solution.
# stop all vpn logins, ie close down all client access # now, do the following cat /var/run/ovpnserver.log cat /var/var/ovpnserver.log # one of these is likely an empty file openvpnctrl -k # kill the openvpn service rm /var/run/ovpnserver.log rm /var/var/ovpnserver.log # make sure the configuration option is correct grep ovpnserver.log /var/ipfire/ovpn/server.conf openvpnctrl -s # start the openvpn service cat /var/run/ovpnserver.log cat /var/var/ovpnserver.log # one of the above should have the headers in it, hopefully /var/run # if /var/run/ovpnserver.log has the headers, you should be good # now, make a vpn connection, let it get established, then cat /var/run/ovpnserver.log # you should see the new vpn connection. If you do, stats and connection # will show.
An empty ovpnserver.log file looks as follows. This is with no connections to it. This appears to be the file that all stats and displays come from.

Hi Robert,
Do you have access to the command line? I so, edit /var/ipfire/ovpn/server.conf
and look for the line which says status /var/log/ovpnserver.log 30
If it says /var/log, change that to status /var/run/ovpnserver.log 30
i had seen that email of yours allreadi. And did change that line before.
(ovpnserver.log was moved from /var/log to /var/run)
Now, restart the OpenVPN Server.
Let us know if that fixes it.
unfortunately no
any more ideas? thanks robert

Hi there, I have updated my ipfire box to core89. Now all the vpn connections in the
Connection Status and -Control screen
always show the status:disconnected
even when there is a connection active.
What could be the reason? How to fix?
