root@ns0:/etc/stunnel# service stunnel4 start
Starting SSL tunnels: [Started: /etc/stunnel/base.conf] [Started: /etc/stunnel/mansonthomas.com.conf] stunnel.


Yes !

In fact, my config file was missing the private key :

[mansonthomas.com]
cert          = /etc/stunnel/sites/mansonthomas.com/mansonthomas.com.crt
accept        = 88.190.217.117:443
connect       = 127.0.0.1:82

TIMEOUTclose  = 0

I've added the key, and now it starts ;)

Thanks for your help !

Regards,
Thomas.

Thomas,

If there is no "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----" in
mansonthomas.com.crt, then there is no key in.

You should be provided with a file containing the key.

If this is in DER format (*.pfx or *.p12), you'll have to convert it
first:

  openssl pkcs12 -in <der file> -out <pem file>

HTH,

Ludolf
