    cPanel Install Error version 8.8 (can't access secure ports, 2087, etc.)

    If you install version 8.8 stable there is an error in the installation which locks you out of the secure ports. For example you can manage WHM by going to http://IP-address:2086, but you cannot access through SSL on port 2087 (https://IP-address:2087).

    This is caused by cPanel not creating a directory in the cPanel directory during the install. Here is how you can fix this:

    The missing directory is:

    /usr/local/cpanel/var/run/stunnel

    Login to root via ssh and create the /var, /run and /stunnel directories.

    You will then need to chown all directories to 'cpanel:cpanel'.

    Then at the command line run the following command:

    /usr/local/cpanel/startstunnel

    This will fix the problem and you should be able to access WHM through the secure port.

    Stunnel crashing

    I have the directories mentioned but stunnel still crashes under RHEL3.

    It is a new CP install on a new server.

    Those directories where not there intially. I get the pid file generated but as soon as I try to connect via the 2087 port it goes away.

    Any ideas?
