Plesk update 8.1.1 - Unable to start VPN service

albans

Regular Pleskian
Hi,

I just updated from a host from 8.1 to 8.1.1 via the command line autoinstaller. It worked pretty well, but I can't start the VPN service called psa-vpn anymore...
It shows this error: "psa-vpn: OpenVPN failed to start".

Any idea on how to solve this problem?

Thanks!
 
If you see something like this in /var/log/messages:

Apr 5 14:33:34 openvpn[24974]: OpenVPN 2.0.1 i686-pc-linux [CRYPTO] [LZO] [EPOLL] built on Mar 22 2007

Apr 5 14:33:34 openvpn[24974]: LZO compression initialized

Apr 5 14:33:34 openvpn[24974]: Exiting

It means that HOST is not specified. In Plesk admin CP -> Modules -> Virtual Private Networking -> Preferences try to specify two necessary addresses:

Local peer address *
Remote peer address *

After that service should be started successfully.
