Hi HAProxy Team,

I have been trying to install HAProxy on my vm machine and facing some
difficulties in doing so.

Following is the HAProxy config file that we have currently.

#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Example configuration for a possible web application.  See the
# full configuration options online.

global
    # to have these messages end up in /var/log/haproxy.log you will
    # need to:
    #
    # 1) configure syslog to accept network log events.  This is done
    #    by adding the '-r' option to the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS in
    #    /etc/sysconfig/syslog
    #
    # 2) configure local2 events to go to the /var/log/haproxy.log
    #   file. A line like the following can be added to
    #   /etc/sysconfig/syslog
    #
    #    local2.*                       /var/log/haproxy.log
    #
    log         127.0.0.1 local2

    chroot      /var/lib/haproxy
    pidfile     /var/run/haproxy.pid
    maxconn     4000
    user        haproxy
    group       haproxy
    daemon

    # turn on stats unix socket
    stats socket /var/lib/haproxy/stats

        server lxapp14059.dc.corp.telstra.com 10.195.77.22:7068 check


I have added the lines at the end which are colored and ran the command
--->  *haproxy -c -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg* which gave me an output
that *configuration
file is valid*.

When i tried to start it manually (in foreground, to test) with ---> *haproxy
-db -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg* it started giving me an error

Can you help me resolve this issue as I am stuck on this. Any suggestions
would be appreciated.

Do let me know if you need any further information on this.

Regards,
Akshay
