OpenVPN拒绝启动，自从我将Ubuntu从1.04升级到11.10后，就出现这个错误

我没有添加sudo到/etc/init.d/openvpn start ，这就是为什么它没有启动
您需要设置用户openvpn运行的权限，以便能够读取/写入日志文件，读取ssl密钥/ certs文件和rw /etc/openvpn/ipp.txt （此文件控制谁将获得哪个IP ）。
从我的理解你的答案，当你开始作为根（不是sudo）它的作品。
Obs：如果你的权限看起来不错，也许它是apparmor拒绝访问文件。
编辑：您有Error: private key password verification failed您的日志中的Error: private key password verification failed 。 你的私钥需要密码？ 如果是这样，您将无法自动启动它。
奇怪的是，使用该命令启动OpenVPN
sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn start
导致此错误，而开始使用
service openvpn start
不会抛出任何错误！
