And what does not working mean? Do you get any error message while starting haproxy? If yes, it would be a good idea to share that error message.

I think you only triggered some systemd threshold that now impedes to start haproxy.

Wait a few seconds, and start haproxy (`systemctl start haproxy`).

Do:

```
systemctl stop haproxy
sleep 60
systemctl start haproxy
systemctl status haproxy
```

Thanks.  
I was find the solution.  
The problem was that i have installed apache service in same server.  
So when hapoxy proxy try to bind trafic on 80 port, it could not because this port was already used by apache service.

I just stop apache service and haproxy starts correctly.

Thanks again for your help
