ACL and redirection backend with specific word in path

Help!
1

Hi,

I hope to use the right terms for my explanation of the configuration I’m trying to operating with HAProxy.

I wish I could tell HAPROXY to detect 2 words in the URL and then redirect to the right backend.

The config works well when I configure it for only one of the 3 environments but as soon as I add a second one it no longer works.

This is basically what I would like to see working:

the user or request types:

server.com/dev/test/something/example

and ask to HAProxy to detect the word DEV and SOMETHING to redirect to the good backend (working if having this config only)

But if I add a second environment

server.com/qa/test/something/example

and ask to HAProxy to detect the word QA and SOMETHING to another backend it stop working.

The special thing is I have presently the actual server (oldserver) who use server.com/prod/test, server.com/qa/test and server.com/dev.

So I need to ask HAProxy to detect two word to redirect to specific backend and the old server working.

here my config of the file haproxy.cfg.

So I think that I can’t create two ACL path_sub with the same word (something)

And if my understandings of ACL is good, I can’t use path_beg to detect /dev/test/something/
or path_dir too (I test it and no good result)

thank you in advance for anyone who try to help me

I am not too sure about what it is exactly you are trying to do.

But I suggest using 2 acls, and combining them as conditions. It would probably be the simplest option.
