WHM SSL/SSH ports not responding

[SupermanInNY]

/usr/local/cpanel/startstunnel
lsof | grep 2087

nothing comes up.

Same for
lsof | grep 2083.


lsof | grep 2086
whostmgrd 2875 root 3u IPv4 9559 TCP *:2086 (LISTEN)

lsof | grep 2082
cpaneld 2824 root 5u IPv4 7784 TCP *:2082 (LISTEN)


any suggestions?

WHM 8.5.1 cPanel 8.5.3-S3
RedHat - WHM X v2.1.1

It started when I was working with 8.5.4 Edge version, so I downscaled to Stable, but that didn't resolve the problem.

Several reboots have gone already,. but it doesn't get started.

From tech support (Darren):

It looks like you had imaps enabled for xinetd. I disabled it so that stunnel could bind to the port (993) and not fail on startup. Let me know if you can't connect on the https ports now.

That resolved the issue!

Thanks Darren.

I have a cPanel box that is also not responding on 2083/2087. Can you please explain how I test to see if the same cause is going on here?


Thanks,

Using Redhat 9 Gnome, (which I don't have anymore on my box - no more Gnome... now only blackbox - a much lighter GUI client) I remember there is

Servers --> Services

or something like that.
It opened a window with lots of checkboxes with the active services already checked. When you highlight a service you see an info box on the right side which tells you what does this service do.
Uncheck the box of imaps and do the save/activate/deactivate and exit.
I don't know if you need to restart the server to enable/remove or just to stop the service.

Alternatively you may try xterm window and do:

service imaps stop


I don't know if that would do it and what would prevent it from loading on a reboot, but if you do that through the checkboxes, it would be permanent (until you change that in the checkboxes).

Give it a try. In my case, I had Darren of cPanel performing it on my machine and recieved the quote I posted earlier, so I can only imagine that would be how he did it.

Hope that helps.
