-copy the included files into /etc in the same hierarchy structure, which is:
-
- etc/
- etc/init.d
- etc/init.d/stunnel
- etc/stunnel
- etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf
-
-fix permissions:
-
- chmod 755 /etc/init.d/stunnel
-
-fix configuration:
-
- modify /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf to represent your desired tunneling
- configuration. the example turns a trac install on localhost with standard
- http protocol into a TLS version on the https protocol.
-
-run this command to get stunnel registered:
-
- sudo /sbin/chkconfig --add stunnel
-
-afterwards the service should start with:
-
- /etc/init.d/stunnel start
-
-if problems result from starting the service:
-
- + maybe you need to fix the path in the /etc/init.d/stunnel script.
- try running:
- "which stunnel" (or "whence stunnel")
- and updating the script with the path shown for stunnel.
-
- + maybe there's a port conflict from another service?
- check with the configuration files or ask the system administrators for
- assistance. the telnet tool will connect to an arbitrary tcp service and
- inform you if the connection succeeded, e.g. "telnet myhost 23230".
- if it says "Connected to ...." then the connection was successful,
- regardless of the type of tcp protocol actually on that port. if that
- reports instead "unable to connect to remote host", then no answer was
- received. if the telnet session just says "Trying ...." and never comes
- back or takes a really long time, then a firewall may be blocking the
- port or the machine may be down.
