Have you tried to look up this error, or try to read/understand it?

First hit in Google:

The error is VERY clear...you can't run something on that port, because something ELSE is already using it. Either you've got openVPN running on that port, and you need to stop the running instance, or another service is using that port. So, pick another. Also, are you trying to start this as root, because it will fail if you don't.
