HAProxy service error
-
Hi,
After installing HAProxy I couldn't start the service.
When trying manually I quickly found out why it didn't work, but have no clue how to repair it and how it got this messed up.
I had installed the package earlier but removed it again, that might be related…
Grateful for advise!This is what I found:
[2.1-RELEASE][admin@host.domain.se]/usr(70): /usr/local/etc/rc.d/haproxy start Cannot 'start' haproxy. Set haproxy_enable to YES in /etc/rc.conf or use 'onestart' instead of 'start'.

Hi cwelinder,
Try running this command: "haproxy -f /var/etc/haproxy.cfg -c"
It will probably tell you there are no frontends/listeners backends/servers configured.
You might also want to give haproxy-devel a try, i'm currently maintaining/improving it.. So if you find issues in that package send me a message ;).
-
Ok, so adding servers first is required to start service?
Possible to add a error-msg to the Service tab?I installed your devel build and it started up fine.
Will keep you posted on any issues or such! :)edit.1 - Help section on the GUI, does it exist?
edit.2 - Maybe off-topic and newbish question, but does the web UI override changes made manually when starting service?
I'm running HAProxy on a Synology Diskstation, and copied the major part of the haproxy.cfg. Only to see it replaced by former config. Any work-around? Or even cooler, a function to import configuration files! =) -
-
No help section available currently, sorry.
-
Every time the configuration is applied all existing configuration options are overwritten. (as is the case with most config files that are managed through pfSense gui.)
-import option, i don't think its easily possible to implement such a feature..
-
As a workaround you could probably put major parts of the old config file into the Setting page under: "Global Advanced pass thru" including listen/frontend/backend sections. Though that way it wont be 'nicely' visible in the webgui..
-
the haproxy-devel build uses some default options like a 'unix socket' that might be sufficient for haproxy to startup, instead of the almost 'empty' config you showed. Also when applying haproxy-devel settings if an error is detected in the config file it will show that at the top of the page.
