I have bigger questions but can’t access my HAProxy server right now and would prefer sharing all the configuraiton settings. However, I do have a stats question and a seemingly basic stats setup:

listen stats  
bind :1936  
mode http  
log global  
maxconn 10  
stats enable  
stats hide-version  
stats refresh 30s  
stats show-node  
stats auth :  
stats uri /

It works fine if I go to [http://192.168.0.60:1936](http://192.168.0.60:1936) but if I go to [http://haproxy:1936](http://haproxy:1936) or [http://haproxy.REMOVED.local:1936](http://haproxy.REMOVED.local:1936) it fails to open. I have my own DNS server and haproxy is in DNS and is set to 192.168.0.60 and it does ping/resolve. Any idea why it’s ownly working with IP?

Thanks

JR

No, no idea.

The stats socket is certainly not checking or refusing request based on the Host header.

I suggest you make a wireshark capture and check if your browser actually sends the request to this IP.

Working now. Must have taken some time for some reason or something was cached.
