haproxy not starting

fernandoipsec

haproxy-devel net 0.59_13

I'm unable to start haproxy after upgrade to pfsense 2.4.4.
I get this error:

Oct 26 00:38:55 php-cgi haproxy: startup error output!: Lua init: table index is nil.
Oct 26 00:38:55 php-cgi haproxy: started new pid:none
Oct 26 00:38:55 php-cgi haproxy: starting old pid:none

How to fix this?

@fernandoipsec
Have you added any lua scripts that might contain issues?

fernandoipsec

No custom lua script added.
Default package with basic configuration.
This has occur after upgrade to pfsense 2.4.4. It's was working in the 2.4.3.

@fernandoipsec
Can you check if haproxy.cfg contains anything that looks like 'lua' something?

My haproxy.cfg
No lua scripts.

@fernandoipsec said in haproxy not starting:

cat /var/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg

can you check the _test config thats used for validating the configuration?
/var/etc/haproxy_test/haproxy.cfg

can you run 'haproxy -vv' ?

I've not seen that happen before..

Can you try and re-install both haproxy and lua?
pkg delete lua53
pkg delete haproxy

Then install it again?

sgw

same behavior for me, 2.4.4 on SG-1000.
Although I have one lua-file in HAproxy, for doing the LetsEncrypt-Challenge.

EDIT: solved by uninstalling and reinstalling the 2 packages, and re-adding the lua-script.
