Help: I am currently running 2.8.2 and upgraded and built 2.9.6. HAPROXY runs as expected with no problems on 2.8.2 but fails when starting 2.9.x. I am a little lost as to why or what would cause the application not to start the service.
Starting on 2.9.6
● haproxy.service - HAProxy Load Balancer
Feb 29 17:45:48 ha01 systemd[1]: haproxy.service: Service RestartSec=100ms expired, scheduling restart.
Starting on 2.8.2
Feb 29 17:58:03 ha01 systemd[1]: Starting HAProxy Load Balancer…
Ran it manually and see if an error shows up:
systemctl stop haproxy
killall haproxy
/usr/sbin/haproxy -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
killall haproxy
That is interesting. Running it manually seems to run fine but fails if I run it through systemctl.
[root@ha01 haproxy]# ps -ef |grep haproxy

Did you look at the output of those commands?
Here is one of the outputs.
ha01 ~]# systemctl status haproxy.service
Mar 15 18:27:28 ha01 systemd[1]: haproxy.service: Service RestartSec=100ms expired, scheduling restart.

try this command to check syntax
haproxy -c -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
let me know the output

This tells me that you need to run this command
systemctl enable haproxy

I have the same issue on Rocky Linux 8. This is caused by the following in systemd file:-
ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/haproxy -f $CONFIG -c -q $EXTRAOPTS
where “EXTRAOPTS=-S /run/haproxy-master.sock”
Changing to this resolves the problem:-
ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/haproxy -f $CONFIG -c -q -P $EXTRAOPTS
