Cannot create stunnel.pid

[Paul Deering]

Hi All,

For the life of me I can not figure what is wrong. I have compiled and
install stunnel-4.05 on a Solaris 9 system. For some reason I get the
following error message. Any pointer would be welcome.

2004.08.11 15:25:38 LOG3[466:1]: Cannot create pid file /var/run/stunnel.pid
2004.08.11 15:25:38 LOG3[466:1]: create: No such file or directory (2)

# stunnel.conf file

cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem
chroot = /var/run/
# PID is created inside chroot jail
pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid
setuid = nobody
setgid = nogroup

is there a /var/run/ directory? is it writable as the user running
stunnel?

Is there a /var/run/var/run directory? IIRC it does a chroot b4 writing the
pid file.

I appreciate the response.

Just for fun I put everything in /tmp and I still get the same error
message. I su to nobody and created a file in /tmp just to be sure I have
the proper permissions.

mailhub{root}32: ls -ld /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 5 root sys 445 Aug 12 05:58 /tmp/

Error message from stunnel
2004.08.12 05:56:47 LOG3[844:1]: Cannot create pid file /tmp/stunnel.pid
2004.08.12 05:56:47 LOG3[844:1]: create: No such file or directory (2)

#stunnel.conf
# Comment it out on Win32
cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem
chroot = /tmp

# PID is created inside chroot jail

pid = /tmp/stunnel.pid

setuid = nobody
setgid = nogroup

All you need to do is to grant the directory permissions

Then try and restart stunnel worked 100%
