OpenVPN

The Linux file system is very robust & usually tolerant of forced power shutdowns.
The journaling file system can withstand unexpected & non graceful power shutdowns.
So I would not worry too much about disruptions to your files.
You should have an uninterruptible power supply on your server though, so that a graceful (controlled) shutdown can be done in the event of a prolonged power failure.
A reconfigure of a server done via the console menu is not a problem, you have been told this before.
Usually you just step through the screens accepting the values that are already there & then reboot, too easy !
Fixing hardware that has failed is another issue though.
It should be easy enough to swap a monitor from another nearby device.
Please follow the howto to install openvpn correctly, you have an old version of openvpn installed for some unknown reason.
You do not tell us how it came to be installed.

It does not matter what the replacement server hardware is.
If you install the fresh SME operating system from CD, you can then do a restore from the last known good backup, & your srever should be up & running with the same configuration & data as previously.
Being ready for serious hardware failures is something that a good sysadmin has a plan prepared for. eg spare equipment & drives etc

Hi janet, This time it may be the major issue. The boss gave me our previos server.

We formated the hard disk which was in sme server and our plan is configure a NAS drive. But this server go internet. and openvpn works. But the msg is a problem. my boss said pls reconfigure and give a reboot to making sure we are ready to audit.
