I'm trying to start haproxy (version 1.5.8 2014/10/31) with an "empty" config file and I get:
user@server:~$ sudo service haproxy start
[....] Starting haproxy: haproxy[ALERT] 126/120540 (7363) : Starting frontend GLOBAL: cannot bind UNIX socket [/run/haproxy/admin.sock]
altough it's enabled:
user@server:~$ cat /etc/default/haproxy
# Set ENABLED to 1 if you want the init script to start haproxy.
ENABLED=1
Configuration file:

Does anyone have an idea why it can't start?
Haproxy needs to write to
/run/haproxy/admin.sock
but it wont create the directory for you. Create the directory/run/haproxy/
first or setstats socket
to a different path.I ran into this problem and had to remove the
/run/haproxy/admin.sock
file for HAProxy to restart successfully. I can only think it became corrupted after I aborted ayum update
command. Oops!
