SoftEther VPN User Forum

Dear Friends

I'm facing problem to run softether in Amazon cloud server .
I got below error,

ubuntu@ip-172-31-20-45:/root/vpnserver$ update-rc.d vpnserver defaults
update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/vpnserver missing LSB information
update-rc.d: see <http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts>
System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/vpnserver already exist.

these are just warnings telling you that your script does not contain the proper header. You can have more information on how to fix it by following the link. But it should work anyway

The last line tells you that the script vpnserver is already registered and will be started/stopped upon startup/shutdown. So there is no need to issue the command "update-rc.d vpnserver defaults" again.
You can prevent the vpnserver to be launched upon startup by typing the command "update-rc.d vpnserver remove".

Lastly, you can try launch the server manually using the script vpnserver (/etc/init.d/vpnserver start). You'll see if there is another problem.

Thank You Petrol
I tried it as below

ubuntu@ip-172-31-20-45:/usr/local/vpnserver$ update-rc.d vpnserver remove
update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/vpnserver exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force)
ubuntu@ip-172-31-20-45:/usr/local/vpnserver$


ubuntu@ip-172-31-20-45:/usr/local/vpnserver$ /etc/init.d/vpnserver start
ubuntu@ip-172-31-20-45:/usr/local/vpnserver$

but still I cant connect to the server

If your server can't start then the commands above won't solve your problems.

What are the steps you took to install the server ?

Also you can find some log inside your install folder. You may find some information inside server_log/ or security_log/
