Dear Jo,
This is my try: " mysussy:~ # ls /etc/openvpn README loopback-client server.conf xinetd-client-config client.conf loopback-server server.conf.orig xinetd-server-config easy-rsa office.up static-home.conf xinetd-server-config.orig firewall.sh openvpn-shutdown.sh static-office.conf home.up openvpn-startup.sh tls-home.conf ipp.txt openvpn-status.log tls-office.conf
So there are loads of .conf files in there ... you'll need to reduce this to one (server.conf) at some point.

Probably an existing instance of openvpn is holding the port open. netstat -anp | grep 1194 should tell you which process has this port open. Kill the process and start it again from the command line.
'219.83.114.179' is the global-ip number of my outter wlan-card towards the internet gateway of our ISP.
I am confused why the port-number of '1194' has been already occupied whereas the 'openvpn' still can not start. Who/which is using this port-number?
Please advice me.
