Jboss 6.0 and Mod_Cluster 1.2.0

[pragnyas]

Hi Gururs,

I 'am trying to make mod_cluster via apache 2.2.22 with Jboss 6.0 Final. I was able to get to work with my app on application server directly via 8080 port.. I run apache on 80 port and hit mod_cluster-manager on 80 port.. however my nodes won;t show up or am unable to me hit my application via apache I host.

this is in my http server

MemManagerFile /apps/cache/httpd

<VirtualHost *:80>

<Directory />

Order deny,allow

Allow from all

</Directory>

KeepAliveTimeout 60

MaxKeepAliveRequests 0

ManagerBalancerName mycluster

AdvertiseFrequency 5

</VirtualHost>

<Location /mod_cluster-manager>

SetHandler mod_cluster-manager

Order deny,allow

Allow from all

</Location>

Please let me know how to troubleshoot this.. issue

First thing is to check if the nodes are showing up in mod_cluster manager. If they arent, then the context cannot be routed.

Check your AS6 logs as well. If multicasting is not working, the set the proxy-list in AS6 config.

But you should make your config safe first. The registering should be done on 6666 port for example open only to your internal network but you are allowing to all, so now anyone could register their AS7 node with your balancer.

PS: If you are still developing your app you should consider moving to AS7 instead of AS6.

Hi Husar,

Thanks for the reply..

When I hit my webserver on http://<hostname>:6666

I get default age served

It works!

and I changed my mod_cluster section info...

Listen 10.36.10.12:6666

MemManagerFile /apps/cache/httpd

<VirtualHost 10.36.10.12:6666>

<Directory />

Order deny,allow

Deny from all

Allow from 10.36.

</Directory>

KeepAliveTimeout 60

MaxKeepAliveRequests 0

ManagerBalancerName mycluster

AdvertiseFrequency 5

</VirtualHost>

<Location /mod_cluster-manager>

SetHandler mod_cluster-manager

Order deny,allow

Deny from all

Allow from 10.36.

</Location>

on mod_cluster-manager this is what I get and no nodes info

mod_cluster/1.2.0.Final

Auto Refresh show DUMP output show INFO output

if I start using proxy-list in mod_cluster-jboss-beans.xml file in mod_cluster.sar/METAINF

am getting this error in boot.log

06:42:51,640 ERROR [org.jboss.modcluster.mcmp.impl.DefaultMCMPHandler] Error [null: null: {4}] sending command INFO to proxy sb.mysandbox.real/10.36.10.12:6666, configuration will be reset

Add the following lines in httpd.conf and see

    ServerAdvertise On

    EnableMCPMReceive

[mbabacek]

I concur. MCMP messages are being processed only within those VirtualHosts that have EnableMCPMReceive directive set.

Modify as below

<Engine name="jboss.web" defaultHost="localhost"> to

<Engine name="jboss.web" defaultHost="localhost" jvmRoute="${jboss.jvmRoute}">

in PROFILE/deploy/jbossweb.sar/server.xml

AND

Unicast to 224.0.0.0

Thanks to all of you... you really made my cluster works.. Jboss Rocks.. everythign si workign fine for me now..

Although my cluster is working.. I have a couple of questions from the documentation am reading..

is this change required in server.xml file ?

<Listener className="org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.deployers.MicrocontainerIntegrationLifecycleListener" delegateBeanName="HAModClusterService"/>

if I have this change it errors out..

Also in jbossweb.sar/META-INF/jboss-beans.xml is this change required..

<depends>HAModClusterService</depends>

Like I said my cluster works perfectly.. but want to know what difference above 2 paramaters/changes make ? and how to start up my cluster without errors. ?

The short answer - those configuration changes are not relevant to AS6.

You don't need to define a <Listener/> for use in AS6 - the appropriate listener will be added automagically.

You also don't want to add that dependency (i.e. on HAModClusterService) to the jbossweb mc config.  mod_cluster integration was improved in AS6 such that the web container no longer needs to depend on mod_cluster - instead, mod_cluster depends on the web container.  This reversal makes for confusing documentation unfortunately - so sorry for the confusion.
