now my service is already running.

Application On server
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/openvpn at .service; enabled; vendor
preset: disabled)
   Active: active (running) since Wed 2018-01-03 13:52:07 WIB; 6s ago
 Main PID: 28900 (openvpn)
   Status: "Initialization Sequence Completed"
   CGroup: /system.slice/system-openvpn.slice/openvpn at server.service
           └─28900 /usr/sbin/openvpn --cd /etc/openvpn/ --config server.conf


*for this error Options error: --tls-auth fails with 'ta.key': No such file
