Hi everyone,

I'm quite new with Haproxy and I have a weird behavior with external check..

here is my config file :

global
    log /dev/log    local0
    log /dev/log    local1 notice
    chroot /var/lib/haproxy
    stats socket /run/haproxy/admin.sock mode 660 level admin
    stats timeout 30s
    user haproxy
    group haproxy
    daemon

    # Default SSL material locations
    ca-base /etc/ssl/certs
    crt-base /etc/ssl/private

    # Default ciphers to use on SSL-enabled listening sockets.

    ssl-default-bind-options no-sslv3
    *external-check*

    log    global
    mode    http

        timeout server  50000

*option external-check    external-check path "/usr/bin:/bin:/tmp"
 external-check command /bin/true    server web1 127.0.0.1:80
<http://127.0.0.1:80> check    server web2 127.0.0.1:81
<http://127.0.0.1:81> check*

frontend http
    bind *:82
    mode http

    default_backend web-backend


And yet I get a 503 and in my logs I got this :

...: Server web-backend/web1 is DOWN, reason: External check error, code:
255, check duration: 5ms. 1 active and 0 backup servers left. 0 sessions
active, 0 requeued, 0 remaining in queue.
...: Server web-backend/web1 is DOWN, reason: External check error, code:

...: Server web-backend/web2 is DOWN, reason: External check error, code:

...: backend web-backend has no server available!
...: backend web-backend has no server available!

How could the check */bin/true* fail and return 255 ?

I'm running the latest stable version (1.6.5)
If someone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong please heelp ! ^^
