Hi P S,I have to say, the way you type your emails makes one really want to help you. You seem to be positive, constructive and I don't see any whining. And yes, I'm a sarcastic person.
So, for your first problem. I don't know what goes wrong, but with me if haproxy fails to start, it actually does give back the reason why it does actually tells me why it doesn't start. The complete error is 'See "systemctl status haproxy.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.' and 'journalxtl -xe' gives it back nicely. Did you read the output?
Now, back to your original issue. I've build a simple setup, added your config, tried to test it and: root@wonko-the-sane:/etc/haproxy# haproxy -c -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg[WARNING] 210/135916 (26036) : config : 'option forwardfor' ignored for backend 'nodejs' as it requires HTTP mode. [WARNING] 210/135916 (26036) : config : 'option forwardfor' ignored for backend 'nodejs_test' as it requires HTTP mode. [WARNING] 210/135916 (26036) : config : 'option http-no-delay' ignored for backend 'nodejs_test' as it requires HTTP mode. [ALERT] 210/135916 (26036) : http frontend 'all' (/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg:16) tries to use incompatible tcp backend 'nodejs' (/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg:1) as its default backend (see 'mode'). [ALERT] 210/135916 (26036) : http frontend 'all' (/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg:16) tries to use incompatible tcp backend 'nodejs_test' (/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg:8) in a 'use_backend' rule (see 'mode').
[ALERT] 210/135916 (26036) : Fatal errors found in configuration.I do not run anything on port 80, nor on 8090 since I do not have to, because *your config is simply broken*. May I suggest you Read The Fine Manual (tm)? https://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/1.7/configuration.html is a great source.
Also using the http-no-delay option is heavily discouraged.Why the project is not hosted on Github, I simply do not know. I'm not the author and I do not get to choose. But to be honest, I couldn't care less where the project is hosted. The support on haproxy has always been great for me and I do not think github would have made that better. Just because it is different and maybe a bit old school for some, doesn't make it really bad. And funny thing is, the other project you are referring to, nginx, isn't on github either....
Out of office replies to a mailinglist are indeed a bit braindead, but since I have the option to delete emails they do not bother me. Just delete them and *poof* go one with your life.
Happy HAProxying! Sander
