HAProxy fails to start on reboot

scottalanmiller

My guesses would be that for some reason it is trying to fire up as a non-root user, or SELinux is messing with it, but then changing later so as not to be a problem.

As is typical for my client work, everything is done as the root user to enable simpler hand off in case we part ways.

I manage things with my own user account and sudo, but the setup is all originally done under root.

So because of that, I cannot see what would be causing this from that point of view.

A possibility I guess. I can disable it permanently, reboot, and see what happens as a test.

set it to permissive in /etc/selinux/config and rebooted. same result.

this be annoying.

Well at least that is ruled out.

scottalanmiller

This will be odd but... any chance that something else is running and bound to those ports at the time that the system is starting up?

Single purpose VM, so should not be. Especially on 8080.

Obsolesce

netstat -apn after reboot?

I saw that someone needed this. But should not affect you with SELinux off.

setsebool -P haproxy_connect_any=1

setsebool -P haproxy_connect_any=1

And it is running with it enforcing

scottalanmiller

What do you get with ip addr | grep 10

JaredBusch

Llooks like Nginx is there, but there is no conf for it and no standard /etc/nginx folder.

WTF, wonder if HAProxy uses it.

That's really odd. I didn't think that it used that. I think HA-Proxy is older than Nginx, actually.

shows the vif that the instructions had me setup.

# ip addr | grep 10
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000
    inet 10.202.0.20/23 brd 10.202.1.255 scope global dynamic eth0
    inet 10.202.0.19/23 brd 10.202.1.255 scope global secondary eth0:0

scottalanmiller

That looks like it should.

But again by the time I log in, I can immediately start the service.

In /etc/sysctl.conf can you add this line?

net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind = 1

Or just do...

echo "net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind = 1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf

For load balancing it needs to be able to bind to non-local ports. For some reason the install did not set this which it seems like it should have done.
