Session replication in Jboss 7.2.0 using mod cluster

[sunildshpnd]

Hi All,

I am trying to configure load balancer using mod cluster in jboss 7.2.0 in domain mode. I am following the article below.

http://middlewaremagic.com/jboss/?p=2147

I was able to configure the load balancer in domain mode in Same box. When i access the cluster Web app using individual IP addresses like

Http://jboss.localhost.net:8180/ClusterWebApp

http://jboss.localhost.net:8280/ClusterWebApp

it shows the results correctly.

Now i am testing the session replication scenario. that is submit the request using load balanced url http://jboss.localhost.net/ClusterWebApp

the request is routed to one of the server. then i am shutind down that server and access the app to see if the seccion is replaicated to second server or not.

I see following error in httpd logs . No error in jboss console

[error] proxy: CLUSTER: (balancer://wingspancluster). All workers are in error state.

Any idea what causes the error? and how to resolve the issue.

Hi All,

I am using apache httpd 2.2.9 version and mod cluster 1.2.0

from internet i could see that mod cluster 1.2.0 is supported in httpd 2.2.8+ version.

Please help me on this. here is my configuration

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_ajp_module modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so

LoadModule slotmem_module modules/mod_slotmem.so
LoadModule manager_module modules/mod_manager.so
LoadModule proxy_cluster_module modules/mod_proxy_cluster.so
LoadModule advertise_module modules/mod_advertise.so

Listen 10.137.8.123:80
NameVirtualHost 10.137.8.123:80
<VirtualHost 10.137.8.123:80>
ServerName jboss.localhost.net
<Directory />
  Order deny,allow
  Allow from all
</Directory>
<Location /mod_cluster-manager>

  Order deny,allow
  Allow from all
</Location>
          KeepAliveTimeout 60
          ManagerBalancerName mycluster

Following changes were done in domain.xml file.

1. added instance id

2. added proxy-list entry

JBoss 7.2 was the basis for Redhat's EAP 6.1.  Their supported stack is Apache 2.2.22 with mod_cluster 1.2.4.  You will most likely get better results with those versions as it is a newer and tested configuration.

As for the error, if all the workers are in an error state it means apache thinks all of your JBoss instances are down and it can't proxy the request to JBoss.  Check the mod_cluster-manager web page and make sure both of your JBoss instances along with the deployed webapps are registering with mod_cluster correctly and they are using the same balancer.  You can enable debugging in apache to see the JBoss nodes registering with mod_cluster in Apache.
