❗ If some not working:
Check SELINUX:
sestatus
If SELINUX is enabled - switch off this: open /etc/selinux/config and change SELINUX to disabled:
sudo sed -i s/^SELINUX=.*$/SELINUX=disabled/ /etc/selinux/config
Stats page
After installation you can access a stats page without authenticating via the URL: http://<YourHAProxyServer>:9000/haproxy_stats
Common problem:
[/usr/sbin/haproxy.main()] Cannot chroot1(/var/lib/haproxy)
Solution:
Create /var/lib/haproxy directory
Check on the rpcbind service to ensure that this service is started
