From the errors you got out of the haproxy -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg -db command, the issue is that you did not set the section of the configs in the first section of your file. From a quick Google search, that section should be named global.
global log /dev/log local0 log /dev/log local1 notice chroot /var/lib/haproxy stats timeout 30s user haproxy group haproxy daemon And I assume you fixed the last config error
[ALERT] 359/031621 (6151) : parsing [/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg:20] : unknown keyword ‘jstats’ in ‘frontend’ section As the key looks to be changed to stats instead of jstats
