In learning the HAProxy and following “Serve Dynamic Custom Error Pages with HAProxy”, I’m getting the error when checking the haproxy.cfg:

aproxy:/etc/haproxy/errors # haproxy -c -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
[NOTICE]   (25600) : haproxy version is 2.4.22
[NOTICE]   (25600) : path to executable is /usr/sbin/haproxy
[ALERT]    (25600) : parsing [/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg:37] : errorfile : error opening file '/etc/haproxy/errors/404.http'.
[ALERT]    (25600) : Error(s) found in configuration file : /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
[ALERT]    (25600) : Fatal errors found in configuration.

and my permission are:

haproxy:/etc/haproxy/errors # ls -l
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 364 Aug 15 20:58 404.http

what changes do I need to make to get this to work?

haproxy.cfg:

Files that your program opens are relative to /var/lib/proxy, not relative to /.

I’m still missing something:

Question, I have SELinux as my default security module during installation and its currently set to permissive. I have not spent as of yes to learn how to configure SELinux, but could this be the reason why I’m getting this error on the .http files?
