The problem is exactly on the line specified in the error message.

cert serverport 1194

You are meant to provide the filename of the certificate with the cert directive, and the serverport directive should be on the next line.

the correct server configuration is:

port 1194 proto udp dev tun server 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt ca ca.crt cert serverVPN.crt key serverVPN.key dh dh1024.pem push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0" push "redirect-gateway def1" push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8" push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.4.4" comp-lzo keepalive 10 60 ping-timer-rem persist-tun persist-key client-to-client log-append /var/log/openvpn group daemon daemon verb 3.crt key server.key dh dh1024.pem push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0" push "redirect-gateway def1" push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8" push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.4.4" comp-lzo keepalive 10 60 ping-timer-rem persist-tun persist-key client-to-client log-append /var/log/openvpn group daemon daemon verb 3
