HAProxy cannot bind port not listening

HAProxy is an open-software used as a high-performance load balancer and reverse proxy for TCP.

To check whether the proxy config before reloading or restarting the HAProxy service can be done via this command:

 haproxy -c -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg

It will show 'configuration file is valid' if everything is okay or the config file syntax is valid.

However, the command cannot check whether it can bind the port, or bind the socket.

Example, typing: systemctl reload haproxy to reload the new config file.

And to check whether the reload is successful or not status of the service can be checked.

Typing, systemctl status haproxy to check the status and if it shows Reload: failed then binding issues or other errors causes reloading to fail.

Or some alert is shown as Binding like /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg cannot bind socket or cannot assign requested address for 192.168.x.x. IP

Technically, the error is already giving some hints that the IP on the HAProxy config file cannot be used for binding. 

Solution, if there is an existing config that has worked before, double check the IP make sure it's the same with the new entry or the line showing the errors and try reloading again.

The IP address uses for binding is the IP address that HAProxy will try to listen on, or it's the IP address that HAProxy will accept connections.

To further check whether the port that is used on HAProxy is listening.

Type: ss -tulpn 8070

If the port shows it's listening then the port is ready to accept connections.

That's it..till next time.




Life is a gift from God, No matter how hard it gets. Just keep going and never get tired of asking God's help..He will show you the way, Trust and Faith will go a long way.

Print error 016-799 - Fuji Film Xerox

016-799 Fuji Xerox or Fuji Film print error code. That shows a description error as “Print instruction Fail detected in decomposer.” The error code and error description are alien languages for users and even system administrators who are not familiar with Fuji Xerox error code. The error code is quite simple and easy to fix, if the job print goes to the printer but print out doesn’t come out. So, basically the print job was received by the printer, but the printer just doesn’t know what type of paper or what size to use or which tray to utilize for the print out. In some instances, this is just a paper mismatch but the error description; if using Windows 10 to print does not exactly points to what is the issue. First thing to check, is the paper size selected by the user to print. Example, if the printer configuration is A3 and A4 sizes only. But then the person printing the file accidentally chooses “A4 Cover” then this error 016-799 will occur. ...

WMIC get computer name

WMIC get computer model, manufacturer, computer name and  username. WMIC is a command-line tool and that can generate information about computer model, its manufacturer, its username and other informations depending on the parameters provided.
