http://127.0.0.1:6666/mod_cluster-manager not working

[ohmygod]

I have installed mod cluster and used default setting in httpd.conf. It just worked yesterday using http://127.0.0.1:6666/mod_cluster-manager but it does not work any more this morning without chaning anything in httpd.conf.

The error_log is below:

httpd.conf:

#
# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2> for detailed information.
# In particular, see 
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/directives.html>
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.  
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo_log"
# with ServerRoot set to "D:/welocalize/software/JBoss/mod_cluster-1.2.6.Final-windows-amd64/httpd-2.2" will be interpreted by the
# server as "D:/welocalize/software/JBoss/mod_cluster-1.2.6.Final-windows-amd64/httpd-2.2/logs/foo_log".


#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path.  If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive
# at a local disk.  If you wish to share the same ServerRoot for multiple
# httpd daemons, you will need to change at least LockFile and PidFile.
#
ServerRoot "D:/welocalize/software/JBoss/mod_cluster-1.2.6.Final-windows-amd64/httpd-2.2"

# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or

Any idea what the problem could it be? I am confused..

Well, what this error means is that it tried to look file named "mod_clu..." in your 'htdocs' directory. So that means that the configuration when you registered that location on /mod_cluster-manager was ignored. You are probably starting with wrong configuration (or not restarting the httpd properly), accessing the wrong virtual server where the location is registered, doing some rewrite or something... In other words, its not a problem of mod_cluster itself.

[ohmygod]

This problem happens again.

The server started successfully. I can see below message in the log when starting the second server

I did not modify any configuration in httpd.conf. It just worked yesterday! What could be the problem?

I have checked the log yesterday and found there was such information in the log

but there is not in today's.

[rhusar]

Let me clarify that mod_cluster and AS clustering are different things. Whereas mod_cluster registers your cluster with load-balancer(s), clustering in AS handles state replication e.g. HTTP session replication to achieve high-availability and failover.

When you see the "File does not exist" it is the same problem as I mentioned earlier: the context is not registered on that host, so it will just try to fetch as a static file from htdocs. The difference here is that these contexts are dynamically configured so it can happen if it hasn't been registered with the balancer, but /mod_cluster-manager is static so you know you have misconfigured httpd if you still can't access it.

If you don't see cluster being formed, it is possible you have problem with your network -- both mod_cluster and clustering use UDP multicasting for discovery. You can try to configure mod_cluster statically, by setting in mod_cluster subsystem:

proxy-list="load_balancer_host:port_number"

may be a late solution but can be useful for someone.

http://127.0.0.1:6666/mod_cluster-manager isn't working because the URL is not correct and so are the errors in logs.

the correct url you have to pick is from <Location /mod_cluster_manager> 

http://127.0.0.1:6666/mod_cluster_manager.
