    #Install and Configure HAProxy on CentOS/RHEL 5/6

    #Rahul December 1, 2013 Linux Tutorials 5 Comments


    #HAProxy is a very fast and reliable solution for high availability, load balanc
    ing, It supports TCP and HTTP-based applications. Now a days most of websites ne
    ed 99.999% uptime for there site, which are not possible with single server setu
    p. Then we need some high availability environment which can easily manage with
    single server failure.
    #haproxy-setup-diagram
    #This article will help you to install HAProxy on CentOS, RHEL servers and will
    configure a Layer 4 Load Balancing (Transport Layer). Which will balance load an
    d transfer requests to different-2 servers based on IP address and port numbers.
    #Setup Instructions:
    #Step 1: Setup Yum Repository
    #CentOS/RHEL 5 users required to add EPEL repository in order to install HAProxy
    packages. For CentOS 6 HAProxy packages are available under base repository, So
    there are no need to add any repository for them.
    #On CentOS/RHEL 5:
    rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
    #Step 2: Install HAProxy
    #Install HAProxy package using yum package manager from command line interface u
    sing following comamnd.
    yum install haproxy -y
    #Step 3: Configure HAProxy
    #Update your HAProxy configuration file /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg as per your req
    uirement, You may also use below given configuration file as an example of setup
    and modify it.
    vim /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
    #[ Update red mark values as per your network setup ]
    global
    log 127.0.0.1 local0
    log 127.0.0.1 local1 debug
    maxconn 45000 # Total Max Connections. This is dependent on ulimit
    daemon
    nbproc

    cores for example.

    timeout connect 86400000
    timeout client 86400000

    #Change the ips in configuration file as per your network setup. In HTTP Site Co
    nfiguration section if any request on ip 192.168.10.10 on port 80, this will be
    redirected to port 80 of 192.168.10.100 or 192.168.10.101 servers. Similarly in
    HTTPS Site Configuration if any request on ip 192.168.10.10 on port 443, this wi
    ll be redirected to port 443 of 192.168.10.100 or 192.168.10.101 servers.
    #You also need to make few changes in configuration file as per your system conf
    iguration.
    nbproc <value>
    mode <value>
    balance <value>

    # Number of processing cores in your system.


    # 'http' for http site and 'tcp' for https site
    # Type of load balancing like 'source', 'roundrobin' etc.

    #Step 4: Start HAProxy Service


    #Start HAProxy service using following command, also configure it to auto start
    on system boot.
    service haproxy start
    chkconfig haproxy on
