      Greetings, I'm trying to set up a reverse proxy using haproxy and by following the instructions in the video by Lawrence Systems. When I try to save after entering all the data for the frontend I get the error "The acl field 'Name' with value ' ggggg' contains invalid characters".

      As you can see, it did not like 'ggggg'. In fact there is nothing that will be accepted. Is there something I'm missing?

      2.7.2-RELEASE (amd64)
      haproxy version is 2.8.3-86e043a
      Win 11 - Engish(American) standard keyboard

        value ' ggggg' contains invalid characters".

        There is a space in front, remove it ?

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          Thank you for your reply. Alas there are no spaces. But I have more issues. I re-entered a new front end which did not throw any errors on SAVE. But, Apply Changes, I got:

          [ALERT] (56576) : config : parsing [/var/etc/haproxy_test/haproxy.cfg:15] : 'bind 192.168.42.1:443' in section 'frontend' : 'crt-list' : unable to load certificate from file '/var/etc/haproxy_test/MyProxyA.pem': no start line.
          [ALERT] (56576) : config : Error(s) found in configuration file : /var/etc/haproxy_test/haproxy.cfg
          [ALERT] (56576) : config : Fatal errors found in configuration.

          I have gotten this before and I navigated to /var/etc and haproxy_test direcory does not exist. I have no idea where that is being picked up from.

          I have uninstalled haproxy and deleted the haproxy directory, re-install haproxy and it's still wants /var/etc/haproxy_test/haproxy.cfg, which does not exist.

          At this point I think my best bet is to restore a backup to before I started with haproxy and start over.
