Hello,
As per various blogs, HAproxy can be gracefully restarted using the
following command:
sudo haproxy -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg -p /var/run/haproxy.pid -sf $(cat
/var/run/haproxy.pid)
TO verify this, I had set up a apache bench script which contiguously sent
message to haproxy. Ideally, whenever I restarted my server the script
should not have an affect on the apache bunch execiton. But, it seems that
whenever Haproxy is restarted apache bench scripts terminate and the
connection to load balancer is lost.
Here is the details of my HaProxy configuration file :
global
nbproc 4
log 127.0.0.1 local0
log 127.0.0.1 local1 notice
#log loghost local0 info
maxconn 4096

Please let me know what am I missing here.
