Problem with KVpnc and openvpn

I’ve been trying to square away my personal vpn and have had some issues. I’m using KVpnc and openvpn without much luck. When I try to connect, I get the following error message:

error: OpenvpnManagementHandler: Got no greeting within 3 seconds from management interface, retrying.

Any advice? I’m still a relative newb to linux, when I used this service in Windows it was merely point and click.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
