Hi, Today I cloned a server which is running haproxy 1.6 on a debian8 server without problems. However, for some reason the clone refuses to start haproxy (IPs and hostname have been updated of course).
Probably I'm missing something simple, but I can't think what it is. I have very little experience with systemd, so am now at a loss as to what's wrong. I'm hoping someone here might be able to suggest something... Nov 16 15:25:50 xxxxx systemd[1]: Starting HAProxy Load Balancer...
