HELP: HAProxy

marcelloc

Try the haproxy-full package.

It's the one I use.

canefield

Still no luck with pfSense and HAProxy nor HAProxy-Full. I'm still trying to complete the process to make Exchange (with all functionality) and SMTP available in a Load Balanced and Reverse Proxy scheme. Can you/anybody help me out?

@canefield:

Marcello,

I'm using HAProxy version 1.4.20 pkg v 1.0; as far as I know the newest one in the 'Packages'-list.
While configuring I think I make the mismatch. That is because I really can't find a goof how-to on each of the three tabs.

In underneath link a saw a how-to, but whithout luck:
http://conheotiensinh.blogspot.com/2011/12/config-haproxy-with-pfsense-version-201.html
Additional HAProxy LB: http://conheotiensinh.blogspot.com/2011/12/setting-up-high-availability-load.html

Simply the pfSense box adding the suffix doesn't comply; http://192.168.x.y/haproxy?stats
~~So far I understand I configure this for each Frontend? What Username & Password should I give in?~~
As far I have read the statistics are only available on the pfSense box; so http://192.168.x.y/haproxy?stats. It doesn't work. I can't see a thing. Furthermore, how to configure '/haproxy?stats' while using multiple Frontends? All linking to the same address?

Thanks,
Canefield

Canefield,

I'm working on apache-modsecurity package to offer a definitive reverse proxy package to pfsense.

I found some extra configs on apache to get it working with owa but I have some deadlines this month on my job and apache new gui package is quite stopped.

Wait some time until I finish it. ;)

Not yet, I'm really busy on my job and last month I had no time for package devel. :(

canefield

Marcello,

No problem. Do you have any estimate?

Thanks,

Ill release a devel version soon with current code. I need some patches applied on mod_security freebsd ports to get all features working but after about 50 days, its still not merged by package commiter

Hello
i install haproxy-full 1.4.21 pkg v 1.0 on pfsense 2.0.1 and configure it with 3 webserver,
it works but do not insert cookies to clients and keep switching between servers.
what`a wrong with my config? ???
i use Round robin Balance in HTTP Type.

Thanks a lot.

canefield

Dear Nimamhd,

How did you managed this? Do you also have one external IP? Forwarding based on host-header in case of port 80 and 443? Did you managed the '/haproxy?stats' part?

I really hope you can help me out though.

KR,

@canefield:

…Forwarding based on host-header in case of port 443....

I think haproxy can balance only 443 connections without checking host header.

It will work fine on server pools that has the same config.

I`ll try to speed up apache2 devel package to help you. some features will be left out as I need changes on ports.

Change it to source instead of round-robin

nimamhd

Hello Dear marcelloc

It works when use Source instead of round robin.
but why the cookies dose not insert to client?

I was googleing and found " http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-34573.html "

They have my problem, how can i add " cookie JSESSIONID insert " in to the HAproxy Config File?

Thanx.

Hi Canefield

I have one External IP and Forwarding port 80 , /haproxy?stats works fine .
i had a problem when i use " NAT Port Forwarding " at the same time with same External Ip address. i disabled the Port Fw, and "/haproxy?stats" gone ok.

Did you configure cookie on servers tab?

Yes , i configure it .

nimamhd

Finally the problem was solved . i add " cookie XXXX insert indirect nocache " in to front end "Advanced pass thru" , it works perfectly .

server insert cookie to clients now.

Thanx A lot team.

marcelloc

So this field should be custom options instead of Advanced pass thru ?

Just another hint from haproxy mailing list.

If you want/need to detect offline servers, configure haproxy to use only one processor instead of detected cpus.

nimamhd

I was bewildered with " Advanced pass thru "`s name actually .

Thanks again marcelloc for your help
