this is my output by tail -f /var/log/syslog/.

May 26 08:02:29 ovpn-server systemd[1]: openvpn-server@ovpn-42.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
May 26 08:02:29 ovpn-server systemd[1]: openvpn-server@ovpn-42.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
May 26 08:02:29 ovpn-server systemd[1]: Failed to start OpenVPN service for ovpn/42.

But there are not a config file like ovpn-42.conf at /etc/openvpn/server/. How could I debug this or better disable this?

You can copy and paste the unit name right out of the log entry, and then disable it.

systemctl disable openvpn-server@ovpn-42.service

I ran into this same problem and for the love of god could not find the location of the invocation argument list. However, I ran into: https://lxadm.com/Enabling_OpenVPN_with_systemctl and when I correctly enabled the services using:

systemctl enable openvpn@client.conf

the system seemed to reset itself and remove the non-existing targets.
