Public bug reported: Binary package hint: haproxy
DIST: Ubuntu 10.4.1 LTS PACKAGE: haproxy-1.3.22-1 FILE: /etc/init.d/haproxy There is a problem running this script - it does not do anything; fails to start/stop/status. There is a strange variable in line 19: ENABLED=0 and then suspicious line 28: test "$ENABLED" != "0" || exit 0 That line makes the script to exit every time, no metter what you set ENABLED to (in line 19). You need to set the variable in /etc/default/haproxy. There are two problems: 1. IMVHO such variable as ENABLED makes little sense. One can choose to enable or disable services in distro-specific way. 2. the variable ENABLED is double-set, once in /etc/init.d/haproxy and then in included script /etc/default/haproxy (see line 25) There is no way for someone to know what is happening without reading source of /etc/init.d/haproxy. No documentation nor post-install scripts mention the need for this tweak. Yeah, sure - haproxy is for serious users, but the strenght of any public project is sensible defaults. There defaults are not very sensible IMHO. ** Affects: haproxy (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: haproxy -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/697550 Title: HAProxy /etc/init.d/haproxy script fails to run by default -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
