Hi All,

I am getting the below error while starting HAProxy service.

root@ABC keys]# /usr/local/cm/bin/haproxy -D -f /usr/local/cm/conf/haproxy.conf

[ALERT] 026/113546 (22869) : parsing [/usr/local/cm/conf/haproxy.conf:28] : ‘bind :::6971’ : unable to load SSL private key into SSL Context ‘/usr/local/cm/.security/CallManager/keys/HAProxy.pem.rsa’.

I have compared my cert and key corresponding to the HAProxy.pem.rsa and its matching. Could you please help me to solve this issue.

Thanks,  
Gayathri
