Hello Nenad, Jul 24 03:44:18 ha1 haproxy-systemd-wrapper[25034]: [ALERT] > 204/034418 (25035) : *Starting proxy mysql-cluster: cannot bind > s...:3306]*
Nothing listening on the port I'm trying to bind to: 3306 [root@ha1:~] #ss -lpt | fgrep 3306 [root@ha1:~] #lsof -i :3306 [root@ha1:~] #netstat -tulpn | grep -i listen | grep 3306 [root@ha1:~] # While we're on the subject of listening ports, here's a list of all listening ports on the haproxy host: [root@ha1:~] #netstat -tulpn | grep -i listen tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:35145 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN - tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:56814 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 16346/rpc.statd tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 16455/rpcbind tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 16396/sshd tcp6 0 0 :::49349 :::* LISTEN 16346/rpc.statd tcp6 0 0 :::111 :::* LISTEN 16455/rpcbind tcp6 0 0 :::47314 :::* LISTEN - tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 16396/sshd I thought I was beginning to understand this problem. That haproxy was trying to bind on port 3306 from the mysql host on another machine. But come to think of it, that doesn't make a lot of sense. Because I already have haproxy setup for some web servers, and there it creates port 80 on the haproxy node. It's not trying to connect to a foreign source. Not sure where I got that idea!! I also tried binding the mysql section to another port that wasn't in use. I tried port 3307,3308. I even tried binding the mysql section of the config to a weird port I just grabbed off of the top of my head. I tried binding it to port 4444. And there I still got a bind error: [ALERT] 204/223303 (13081) : Starting proxy mysql-cluster: cannot bind socket [0.0.0.0:4444] Now watch this!! If I bind the mysql section to port 80 instead of any other port.. haproxy starts up without complaint! listen mysql-cluster bind 0.0.0.0:80 mode tcp option mysql-check user haproxy_check balance roundrobin server mysql-1 10.0.0.xxx :3306 check server mysql-2 10.0.0.xxx:3306 check [root@ha1:/etc/haproxy] #systemctl status haproxy haproxy.service - HAProxy Load Balancer Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/haproxy.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Fri 2015-07-24 22:35:03 UTC; 4s ago Main PID: 13213 (haproxy-systemd) CGroup: /system.slice/haproxy.service ├─13213 /usr/sbin/haproxy-systemd-wrapper -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg -p /run/haproxy.pid ├─13214 /usr/sbin/haproxy -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg -p /run/haproxy.pid -Ds └─13215 /usr/sbin/haproxy -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg -p /run/haproxy.pid -Ds Jul 24 22:35:03 ha1 systemd[1]: Starting HAProxy Load Balancer... *Jul 24 22:35:03 ha1 systemd[1]: Started HAProxy Load Balancer.* Jul 24 22:35:03 ha1 haproxy-systemd-wrapper[13213]: haproxy-systemd-wrapper: executing /usr/sbin/haproxy -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg -p /run/haproxy.pid -Ds Ok. What...the...heck!! So why do you think that haproxy is only happy starting up on port 80? I would think that I should be able to specify any arbitrary port for it to listen on in a 'listen' sub-block. I guess I could have my app contact the database using port 80. But that's a little... weird. I installed haproxy using yum from the 'updates' repository. Is there any reason anyone can think of as to why haproxy refuses to start on any port other than port 80??
