      The fix with the edit of the .cfg didnt work for me. I tried restarting the service and got the following error
      This is a very bad package update...

      edit: i was expecting to re-apply my changes again which breaks the package. So after i run haproxy -f /var/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg then everything works but you cannot make any further changes in the GUI until theres a fix

        I just came to report this also. I couldn't get the fix mentioned to work. I'm just running defaults for threading so I removed the lines that wrote out nbproc and nbthread. So I removed these starting at 1495.

        	// Set numprocs if defined or use system default (#cores)
        	$numprocs = $a_global['nbproc'] ? $a_global['nbproc'] : "1";
        	$numthread = $a_global['nbthread'] ? $a_global['nbthread'] : "1";
        	fwrite ($fd, "\tnbproc\t\t\t{$numprocs}\n");
        	if (haproxy_version() >= "1.8") {
        		fwrite ($fd, "\tnbthread\t\t\t{$numthread}\n");
        	}

          To bad its also dead at my end after the update.

          haproxy: startup error output!: [NOTICE] (74851) : haproxy version is 2.7.6-4dadaaa[NOTICE] (74851) : path to executable is /usr/local/sbin/haproxy[ALERT] (74851) : config : parsing [/var/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg:8] : nbproc is not supported any more since HAProxy 2.5.

          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

          @stephenw10 is the team aware of this bug? Do you want a redmine bug report?

            @kiddsupreme look for this line in haproxy.inc
            ==> fwrite ($fd, "\tnbproc\t\t\t{$numprocs}\n");
            Wrap it in the if statement and do a resave in the WebGUI for haproxy.

              @Cylosoft I also could not get it to work (which was why I was asking about how it was pasted into the file). As you suggested, I removed that information and everything popped up. Is there any negatives about running things this way? Thanks again for the help!

                    @kiddsupreme Most people are running the defaults for these settings anyway so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Netgate is pretty quick with the fixes on these so I'm sure an updated version is coming soon anyway.

                      Looks like 0.63_1 is out and it fixes this.

                        I can confirm the new package 0.63_1 fixes this issue. After updating the package, you may have to go HAProxy->Settings, click save so it writes a new config and then restart the service to clear the message saying changes were made, etc. in pfSense. Thank you devs for the quick fix!

                          Yep. I can confirm this as well. I've switched back to non-dev version and saved the changes. It's working fine now.

                            @michmoor: Update to 0.63_1 went through without problems, error has been eliminated.

                            Many thanks for the quick help!
