I'm trying to get simple content switching configured in HAProxy 1.3.15.7 under OpenBSD 4.6 macppc. The original, full description can be found here:
<http://serverfault.com/questions/104350/why-am-i-getting-errors-in-my-haproxy-content-switching-config> However, I've slimmed /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg down to the following: global log 127.0.0.1 local0 log 127.0.0.1 local1 notice #log loghost local0 info maxconn 1024 chroot /var/haproxy uid 604 gid 604 daemon #debug #quiet pidfile /var/run/haproxy.pid defaults log global mode http option httplog option dontlognull option redispatch retries 3 maxconn 2000 contimeout 5000 clitimeout 50000 srvtimeout 50000 stats enable stats auth user:pass frontend http_proxy *:80 default_backend server1 backend server1 server httpd_server1 192.168.1.3:80 However, when I attempt to start HAProxy, I get the following errors: [ALERT] 019/090010 (10214) : parsing /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg : backend 'bento' has no dispatch address and is not in transparent or balance mode. [ALERT] 019/090010 (10214) : Errors found in configuration file, aborting. [ALERT] 019/090010 (10214) : Error reading configuration file : /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg At the suggestion of a user in the #haproxy on irc.freenode.net, I tried moving the frontend's address & port to a separate bind line ('bind :80', 'bind *:80', and 'bind 0.0.0.0:80' all produced the same error). Also tried a 'source' in the backend ('source 192.168.1.7') to no avail. A little more background: I installed libpcre & haproxy using the existing OpenBSD 4.6 macppc port, but I have to problem building both from scratch if you'd suggest it. Also, the same interface with a private IP is used both for the incoming requests to HAProxy on port 80 and the outgoing redirects to the backend servers (server, in this stripped down config). I'd greatly appreciate any thoughts and suggestions. Thanks, Morgan Aldridge --- morg...@makkintosshu.com http://www.makkintosshu.com/
