He instalado haproxy 1.5 a través de apt-get en Ubuntu 14.04 vía ppa:vbernat/haproxy-1.5
según http://haproxy.debian.net/
El problema es iniciar sesión en /var/log/syslog
lugar de/var/log/haproxy.log
La configuración es básicamente la predeterminada:
/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
global
log /dev/log local0
log /dev/log local1 notice
chroot /var/lib/haproxy
stats socket /run/haproxy/admin.sock mode 660 level admin
stats timeout 30s
user haproxy
group haproxy
daemon
