I tried this tutorial on my VB and when i run sudo systemctl status [email protected] I got the following error instead

I also tried /usr/sbin/openvpn --status /run/openvpn/server.status 10 --cd /etc/openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/server/server.conf --writepid /run/openvpn/server.pid to view errors and got
