      Hi,

      using haproxy for quite long time, however I find annoying each time pfSense restarts (me restart it or there is a power outage). I do have to manually starte HAProxy from it's Services meny by pushing the small "play" button. Then it stater well until next reboot.

      Does it autostart for you ?

      I have reinstalled haproxy, also disabled and reenabled it again. Same result.

      Edit. I found a thread with some lua script problem, but looks like not a case for me, since I reinstalled anyway. I'm not using devel version.

      Thanks

        Autostarts fine for me.
        2 different pfsense installs.

        Can you reboot and post logs here?

          @maverick_slo which logs precisely ?

          I checked default System -> General log, and only haproxy entry is when I started it manually.

          Is it possible for you to locate haproxy startup script and it's location. Looks like I'm missing it, cannot find anything like that in /etc/rc*

          Maybe it was gone during one of upgrades.

            Its done via packages "/etc/rc.start_packages"
            Look there and search from there on.

            I also don`t know where it is but I assume that is started as service.

            Post whole boot log.

              I'm resurrecting this old thread because I am experiencing the same issue (HAProxy will not automatically start on reboot) and, like the OP, I can't seem to find any diagnostics and/or logs that might explain why.

              I'm running CE 2.7 and HAProxy 0.61_11. After reboot, I can start and stop HAProxy normally.

              If anyone has a suggestion on where to look and/or how to gather some problem determination info, I'd appreciate it.
