Traefik running on AKS but routing does not work

Traefik Traefik v2
,
1

Hello all, I'm installing Traefik 2 in Azure Kubernetes Service using just plain yaml files (no Helm). I can see the controller is up&running and it loaded the config from a configmap (from TOML). The Ping works, if I go to http:///ping I get an OK response.

My problem is that I cannot get the dashboard to work. It's probably just a silly little setting somewhere or an inconsistency in the configs but I can't find it, hope someone can help me out by reviewing the info and configs below.

It looks like it does not register any routes but I can't see how to fix it. As a beginner in Traefik the documentation of Traefik and its settings is a bit thin. I used a lot of examples from blogs but it seems a lot of things changed over time and there are different styles of doing things - probably even different per platform. All of this makes it more difficult to find out what should work in my case.

Thanks in advance.

==================================================
All things are installed in a Kubernetes namespace called: traefik

When I visit http:/// I get a message "404 page not found", when trying another port like 8080 my browser just times out (ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT) with no response from the server.

When viewing the log of the controllers using
kubectl -n traefik logs traefik-ingress-controller-85d7db87-xdm7d
It shows:
time="2020-03-15T21:15:41Z" level=info msg="Configuration loaded from file: /config/traefik.toml"

The DNS zone of my AKS cluster is something like:
9d0a8406b5e571a2b150.westeurope.aksapp.io

So I thought I need to set the host of my dashboard ingress to be something like: traefik.traefik.9d0a8406b5e571a2b150.westeurope.aksapp.io

I added a DNS A-record to map it to the IP address of traefik (the one that responds to the ping)

These are my config files:

This issue was fixed, can't exactly tell how but I did change the setup to start using the CRDs.
