The first link is a discussion about LBaaS and the second is a
write-up about how to setup HAProxy to load balancer OpenStack API
services. These are two entirely different things.

So far you've setup LBaaS and everything looks fine.

Keepalived has nothing to do with LBaaS, so we've diverged a bit here.

replacing "quantum" by "neutron" and using virirtual IP for one
server creating /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg. Haproxy fails to start reporting:

Where are you starting haproxy? I am guessing that you're starting
this on the controller, which will be a problem since the OpenStack
services themselves are setup to listen on 0.0.0.0:<PORT> which means
haproxy cannot also listen on that port on the same node.

First, what is it you want to do? If you want to setup LBaaS, you were
on the right track. Once LBaaS is configured and the agent is running,
use the Neutron API to create a load-balancer. This will load-balancer
traffic to your virtual machines.
The write-up you referenced on the RDO page describes how to use
haproxy and keepalived to achieve a highly-available load-balancer for
your OpenStack services. For example, you might have many controllers,
each running neutron, keystone, nova API services, etc. and you can
put a load-balancer in front of these services for scalability and
availability.
Let me know if you have questions.
