WHM/CPanel SSL ports setup

[Korske]

Hello,
Could someone please direct me to a post that explains how to setup secure cpanel and whm.
(I am assuming that some one has already asked this). I can only find posts on how to fix, not setup.

Thanks!

Hello!
I also have problem with it.

it`s work perfectly with http://hostname:2086 , but doesn`t work with https://hostname:2087
I generated SSL via SSL/TLS -> Reset Server Certificates.

https://hostname - it`s works.

when I restart cpanel ( service cpanel restart ) - it write:
Starting cPanel ssl services: [FAILED]

netstat show, that secure ports (2087, 2083, 2096) doesn`t open.

I try to reinstall cpanel (./upcp -force) - doesn`t help

In cpanel logs show nothing about it.

What I can try else? I need your help, please!!

Check for stunnel logs in /var/log/messages when you restart cpanel

Yup. You have some other imap daemon running on the imaps port. Have a look for a file in /etc/xinetd.d/ probably called /etc/xinetd.d/imaps and set disable = yes in the file (do this for any imap service there apart from cpimap) and then restart xinetd:

/etc/init.d/xinetd restart

Then restart cPanel and check whether stunnel is now working.

How I find, it was file popa3ds, when I disable it - cpanel ssl start to work.
But now I cannot use SSL pop3 mail connection, how I understand...
