Those instructions are specifically for a two node active/active configuration 
where the database startup is managed by pacemaker.
Unless that is your case they don't apply to you.

Let's try a few things.

First, can you please post the output to these commands: 

# systemctl status packetfence-haproxy

# systemctl cat packetfence-haproxy

# ps -ef | grep haproxy



As to the configuration itself, look in /usr/local/pf/var/conf/haproxy.conf to 
see the configuration that is actually generated by the conf/haproxy.conf 
template.


You can try running haproxy in debug mode to see what error messages may be 
lurking there: 

# /usr/sbin/haproxy -f /usr/local/pf/var/conf/haproxy.conf -p 
/usr/local/pf/var/run/haproxy.pid -d
