After installing openvpn access server on an Ubuntu 14.4 droplet, I am unable to access the Gui. My browser is unable to access the site. Does anyone have an idea what the issue is. I had done this several times before with an earlier version of openvpn access server with no issues.

New to DigitalOcean and VPS in general, but this help me get my OPENVPN working.
Thanks
Found a fix, run:
sudo /usr/local/openvpn_as/bin/ovpn-init
When you get to the section:
Please specify the network interface and IP address to be used by the Admin Web UI: (1) all interfaces: 0.0.0.0 (2) eth0: YOUR_PUBLIC_IP (3) eth0: 10.10.0.8
Make sure you select all interfaces, for some reason it defaults to 2, which makes it not public. Works for me now.

Same problem, worked on a droplet I set up last week but made a new one today and it no longer connects. Can still SSH into the droplet and if I install Apache2 I can access the default page on port 80 so doesn’t look like a firewall issue.

I used Debian 8.1 instead of Ubuntu and the result is the same - can’t access the web UI.
