      At the end I installed 2.7.0 again and replayed the config.
      Something went wrong as I was on the dev branch. The not initiated auto switching to 2.8.0.dev. seemed to make trouble.
      Now on 2.7.0-RELEASE and installed haproxy 0.61_11 all is working.

      Regards,

      Christian

        I was able to fix it by installing the devel WebUI through CLI:

        pkg install pfSense-pkg-haproxy-devel

          Great, just updatet the HAPROXY and the same happened again!

          Your two lines fixed it, thank you very very much!

            I got the same error. I should have known better then to install without seeing if the upgrade is broken out of the gate. Lesson learned.

              having the same issue, work around:

              • ssh to pfsense

              • edit /var/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg and delete the line "nbproc 1"

              • run haproxy from command line: haproxy -f /var/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg

                • run haproxy from command line: haproxy -f /var/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg

                I can confirm this works. I initially went to Diagnostics->Edit File, manually made the edit there and tried to restart HAProxy from the GUI. That failed. So I did as you mentioned and that worked! Thank you!

                For those that do not want to SSH, you can do it from the pfSense GUI by going to Diagnostics->Edit File, make the change manually, then go to Diagnostics->Command Prompt and run: haproxy -f /var/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg

                  @eduardomozart You can do the same thing via the package manager to install the dev version. Same thing happened to the pfsense plus version today.

                  Adding the dev version fixed it.

                    @Darkk I was facing the issue stated at https://forum.netgate.com/topic/180409/can-t-update-pfsense-or-install-packages/ so I was unable to install packages from webUI but was able to install them through CLI.

                      If you don't want to edit anything you can install the dev version which will fix this issue. You don't need to uninstall the standard version as it will replace it with the dev during install.

                      EDIT: I am running pfsense plus version 23.05.1-RELEASE (amd64) so it might be different on 2.7.

                        Ok, there might be some differences because I am running the pfsense plus version 23.05.1-RELEASE (amd64) .

                          What is nbproc 1?
                          I feel iffy editing without knowing the full impact. Im glad there’s a fix. Would prefer a package fix of course

                            @Darkk it’s the processor count (cores) you want haproxy using.

                              @michmoor nbproc was deprecated in HAProxy. For more information on what it is, you can go here: http://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/1.7/configuration.html#nbproc

                              Hopefully, this gets fixed soon.

                                @davidi Maybe this update should be pulled till it's fixed?

                                  @Darkk Ya, maybe the pfSense devs should pull this package. If you go here: https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/pull/1153

                                  It looked liked it was fixed in pfSense+. Doesn't look like those changes made it to the package being offered for pfSense 2.7

                                  I'm sure the devs will fix it in no time. At least it's running for me right now when I do it manually.

                                      @davidi Ya, not sure why the update didn't get put in because I updated it like couple of hours ago on 23.05.1-RELEASE (amd64) which broke it. Ah well. Least it was an easy fix.

                                          This problem still happens in pfsense+ 23.05.1-RELEASE (arm64) built on Wed Jun 28 03:57:42 UTC 2023 FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT,
                                          with package HAProxy net 0.62_1 / haproxy-2.7.6.

                                          The fix presented in this thread works fine.

                                            Hi,

                                            Today I updated the HAPROXY package as it was informing to update. After updating the package all my addresses are not accessible any more and the service stopped. It is not possible to start the service. When saving the config I get the following:

                                            Errors found while starting haproxy
                                            [NOTICE] (47115) : haproxy version is 2.7.8-58c657f
                                            [NOTICE] (47115) : path to executable is /usr/local/sbin/haproxy
                                            [ALERT] (47115) : config : parsing [/var/etc/haproxy_test/haproxy.cfg:8] : nbproc is not supported any more since HAProxy 2.5. Threads will automatically be used on multi-processor machines if available.
                                            [ALERT] (47115) : config : Error(s) found in configuration file : /var/etc/haproxy_test/haproxy.cfg
                                            [ALERT] (47115) : config : Fatal errors found in configuration.

                                            I tried commenting out the nbproc in the .cfg but still not able to start the service.

                                            Anyone any idea how to fix this and where?

                                            Thanx in advance
