In the configuration file you should 2 lines:

1) log /path/to/logfile("log" will truncate the log file on OpenVPN
startup) or log-append /path/to/log/file ("log-append" will append to
it) use one of this
2) verb (0 4 5 9) Set the appropriate level of log file verbosity. 0 =
only fatal error 9=extremely verbose

You might need to be a little more specific. By default openvpn logs to /var/log/messages (on a typical linux box) if you want to change that you will need to either change the "log " declaration within the server config (which has its own drawbacks) or better yet use syslog-ng and have it write the log entries to a separate file.
