Invalid command JkWorkersFile

[rsrivast]

I am trying to configure HTTP clustering with JBoss 3.2.1 and Apache 2.0.47 under Windows 2k. I have done the following:
1. Downloaded mod_jk2 binary and copied under /module.
2. Added the stmt to include mod-jk.conf in httpd.conf.
3. Created mod-jk.conf and workers.properties under /conf as per the JBossClustering doc.

When starting apache, I get following error in the console...
Syntax error on line 2 of C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/conf/mod-jk.conf:
Invalid command 'JkWorkersFile', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration.

My mod-jk.conf looks like this...

LoadModule jk2_module modules/mod_jk2-2.0.43.dll
JkWorkersFile conf/workers.properties
# Where to put jk logs
JkLogFile logs/mod_jk.log
# Set the jk log level [debug/error/info]
JkLogLevel info
# Select the log format
JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] "
# JkOptions indicate to send SSL KEY SIZE,
JkOptions +ForwardKeySize +ForwardURICompat -ForwardDirectories
# JkRequestLogFormat set the request format
JkRequestLogFormat "%w %V %T"
JkMount /* loadbalancer

What's wrong with the 'JkWorkersFile' command?

Thanks in advance!

Hi !

You're trying to configure mod_jk2 with configuration options for mod_jk. Create a config-file named workers2.properties in the apache/conf directory. A short example:

[logger]
level=DEBUG

[shm]
file=F:\Programme\Apache Group\Apache\logs\shm.file
size=1048576

# Example socket channel, override port and host.
[channel.socket:node1]
port=11009
host=127.0.0.1
group=lb
lbfactor=1
tomcatId=node1

[channel.socket:node2]
port=12009
host=127.0.0.1
group=lb
lbfactor=1
tomcatId=node2

# define the worker
[ajp13:node1]
channel=channel.socket:node1
level=INFO

[ajp13:node2]
channel=channel.socket:node2
level=INFO

# Uri mapping
[uri:/myshop/*]
context=/myshop
worker=lb

[uri:/web-console/*]
context=/web-console
worker=lb

[uri:/jmx-console/*]
context=/jmx-console
worker=lb


[lb:lb]
debug=1
stickySession=1

# define the worker
[status:status]

# Uri mapping
[uri:/jkstatus/*]
worker=status:status
