Hi,
I’m sure it’s something that I am overseeing.
I am moving from my web servers (apache/httpd) handling ssl termination, and instead handling ssl termination on the HAProxy instance instead. I already have the same setup for a different site of mine with HAProxy, but with nginx as my web server, and that works perfectly. I’ve copied the working config, but switched out the ip/addresses but to no avail.
Here’s my config:

Here’s my status page:

I have disabled the http -\> https redirect on my web server, and instead just have a standalone vhost (I can post here if needed).
Any advice would be much, much appreciated!

Your health check fails with L7TOUT, meaning a layer 7 timeout.
Make sure your backend server responds to the healthcheck request coming from haproxy. Maybe tcpdump and checkout what happens at layer 7, and chechkout backend logs.
