    Hi,

    We can not access WHM through 2087. When try telnet x.x.x.x 2087 shows a connection refuesed error.     Could you please fix the issue. All efforts regarding to solve this issue is very much appreciated.

    We are able to connect via 2086. But all the secure port are ( 2096, 2083, and 2087) are giving connection refused error.

    Thanks in advance ... :)

    Best Regards,
    Saj.

    Saj, sounds like your hosting provider does not have the SSL port setup correctly on their Cpanel box. Open a ticket with them as they are probably just blocking it via the firewall they have installed. The other possibility is that your network is blocking the 2087 port. I have seen this from some of our customers on corporate networks, but typically 2086 was blocked in that case also.

    Hi Kris,

    Thanks for your reply. I have checked and could not find any firewall blocking port 2087. I have stoped iptables, portsentry, and apf and try to start cpanel. Cpanel is starting with out any problem. But when I try to start /usr/sbin/stunnel it seems to be started ok. But I cannot see such a process. The stunnel process is binding to port 2087 in ordinary cases. But here I can not start the process. Do you have any Idea, about what is preventing it from starting.

    I have also checked the configuration file of stunnel and could not find any misconfiguration. But I am not much familiar with that file. If you have any idea, please let me know.

    Thanks for your reply again,

    Best Regards,
    Saj.

    Go on, have a guess
    If you run the following are you seeing port 2087 bound?

    netstat -lpn

    If not, then I've seen this happen if you have imaps configured in xinetd. Check for /etc/xinetd.d/imaps, if it exists, edit the file and set Disable = yes then restart xinetd:

    service xinetd restart

    then restart cPanel

    service cpanel restart

    If the port is already bound to stunnel, then the problem lies elsewhere. another idea then is to login to port 2086 non-SSL and regenerate the WHM SSL certificate.

    Hi Chirpy,

    Thank You for your excellent advise. We are able to connect to port 2087 now.

    You seems to be an expert in Linux Administration. Keep it up!!!

    Hi,

    My issue is fixed.. Some support person recompiled the kernel on my server with some missing option.. which caused stunnel to fail.

    Everything is back to normal now... :)
