I have openvpn set up and I keep getting 3 options errors in the log:

The server starts and I can connect clients to it and traffic is directed to it remotely but these errors keep on repeating again and again and I had no luck with it.
I created conf files for them, both in /etc/openvpn/server/.conf and also in /etc/openvpn/.conf to see if that would do anything but nothing. I enabled them in systemd as well but what is strange is that doing systemctl start openvpn@server works and starts the server but doing systemctl start openvpn-server@server gives an error.
From my understanding, openvpn@server starts all of the servers and reads all of their conf files which may be where the errors are coming from, but I'm not sure if the server files were automatically created when I tried setting up openvpn (took me a few tries my first time). I only need one server running since this is for personal use.
This is the server.conf file in /etc/openvpn/

I have went through many articles about the set up but I can't find much on these errors (besides questions posted here but the accepted solutions didn't work for me sadly).Thanks!
