If you edit /usr/local/etc/openvpn/server.conf, it will mention

ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
dh dh1024.pem
key server.key

or something similar. Each of the files it references will need to be
in /usr/local/etc/openvpn/.

The error "Cannot open dh1024.pem" tells you what it's trying to open
that it can't find.
