service hostapd status

un/hostapd.pid -B /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

Did you update your Pi? If not run sudo apt-get update && upgrade, you Pi needs to update once in a while, it happends to me if I do not update it, and if that does not fix it run, sudo apt-get update --fix-missing

I reinstalled everything from scratch, now it seems to work... I noticed that the openvpn client does some interference during startup..
