dnsOnly - stunnel and port 2087

[internetfab]

Hi,
Had to reinstall one of our dns servers this night and ran into some problems with the dnsonly install - haven't used it in a year or two. It seems it has quite a few bugs right now, which may or may not be fixed with some tweaks here and there.

I got bind working but I can't get stunnel to start up.. Whatever I do (i've read through most/all of the stunnel threads here already), it just refuses.. I've recompiled stunnel from cpanel sources (4.15) and symbolic linked it to /usr/bin/stunnel4.15local and /usr/sbin/stunnel and checked that stunnel isn't running and added it to the stopstunnel script.

Running out of options - I logged a ticket with cPanel staff but am afraid I can't wait much longer..

I've also added cpanel user manually since there wasnt one and stunnel was complaining about cpanel GID not found. I changed the cpanel root to /usr/local/cpanel

This is the error from messages:
May 18 06:27:40 dns1 stunnel: LOG5[3939:3086448864]: stunnel 4.15 on i686-pc-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003

Solved..
The directory it was looking for wasnt created.. /usr/local/cpanel/var/run/stunnel

var/run/stunnel wasnt there.. none of em
And then I had to chown cpanel to em.. so stunnel could create a pid file.
