HaProxy will not connect to new server

[cjbujold]

Having a strange issue.  Using Haproxy for about a year with 7 backend servers and now trying to add an 8th backend server and once configured it will not start.  Not seeing any issue in the config but hopping somebody can point out the problem.

The issue is with syncbox.accra.ca here the configuration.

frontend httpWEBdomains
bind 192.168.20.1:8080 name 192.168.20.1:8080 
bind :::8080 name :::8080 
mode http

option http-keep-alive
timeout client 30000
acl syncbox_acl hdr(host) -i syncbox.accra.ca

Check the stats page of haproxy, it might show a little more info in the LastChk column.
Also try changing the healthcheck to GET and fill in the version together with a host header to send.

HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:\ www.yourdomain.com
