mod_cluster installation

I get an error whenever I try to define a virtual host on 6666. See: http://www.jboss.org/mod_cluster/quick-start.html for the directions I am following

The error is:

I thought it might have been the firewall on ether box preventing ajp from connecting.

[root@jboss2 jboss-5.0.0.CR2]# /sbin/service --status-all | grep Firewall
Firewall is stopped.
Firewall is stopped.

[root@apache opt]# sudo service --status-all | grep Firewall
Firewall is stopped.
Firewall is stopped.
[root@apache opt]#

The error mentions that is is trying to connect to 8009 on localhost from apache. Could it be that is has the wrong name? Shouldn't it be connecting to jboss2:8009? Did we put localhost where it should really be something else like jboss2?

When you start JBoss AS 4.2 or later it binds its services to localhost by default. You need to use the -b switch to tell it to bind to a different interface, e.g.

./run.sh -c all -b jboss2

The AS-side mod_cluster will tell the apache side whatever interface has been bound.
