Haproxy-devel v0.23 on 2.2.1 i386 - error writing config file

pffan · May 16, 2015, 9:07 AM

So I have a formerly working configuration that, after temporarily disabling my front end, now won't correctly generate a config file. The first backend has no servers and yet I have two defined. While I have changed the names for obscurity, there's nothing special about the names I've chosen that should affect parsing of the configuration. I also notice that "applying" settings takes a long time to complete. I can't even begin to imagine what I did to cause this. Thoughts?


backend WEB01_http_ipvANY
	mode			http
	timeout connect		30000
	timeout server		30000
	retries			3
	option			httpchk

backend WEB02_http_ipvANY
	mode			http
	timeout connect		60000
	timeout server		60000
	retries			2
	option			httpchk OPTIONS / 
	server			webserver 192.168.xxx.xxx:443 ssl check inter 1000  weight 10 verify none

Could you run the following command for your configured servers names on pfsense console? (replace www.google.com)

drill www.google.com A @127.0.0.1 | grep www.google.com

If that code does not show the server ip's that could explain 'missing' servers, though saving the config taking a long time might indicate a dns problem as well..

If a cname is returned could try the 'fix' in here?: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=93148.msg517620#msg517620

I'm a little late updating, but it was indeed a dns problem.
