HAProxy Installation problem

[Paladinemishakal]

Hi,

I am installing HAProxy on Debian Etch and got this error when trying to get the packages from Lenny.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my apt sources.list

deb http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/ lenny main

deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib
-------------------------------------------------------------

This is my apt preferences
----------------------------
Package: *
Pin: release a=etch
Pin-Priority: 700

Package: *
Pin: release a=lenny
Pin-Priority: 650
----------------------------

Can I still proceed with the HAProxy installation according to the instruction? What is the problem with the error?

Regards.

Open /etc/apt/apt.conf and put the following line into it:
APT::Cache-Limit "100000000";

Then run
apt-get update

Hi Falko,

Thanks for the info. I ended up building HAProxy from souce :) and following your tutorial after that. Great tutorial you have there.

From your tutorial, you make use of Apache2. As I am also looking at using Nginx to replace Apache2, I found out that the Nginx does not have the ability to exclude the logging of the "check.txt" done by HAProxy. Does anyone know how do I work around this issue? Beside the fact that I still want logging to be enabled but without the constant logging of the "checks" from HAProxy.

Regards.
