I am Setting up a JBoss EAP 5 cluster with Apache mod_jk for load balancing and failover

[asifalis]

I have created vertical cluster with server1 and server2, both servers are start as following command

./run.sh -c server1 -g DocsPartition -u 239.255.100.100 -b 192.168.0.101 -Djboss.service.binding.set=ports-01 -Djboss.messaging.ServerPeerID=1 

./run.sh -c server2 -g DocsPartition -u 239.255.100.100 -b 192.168.0.101 -Djboss.service.binding.set=ports-02 -Djboss.messaging.ServerPeerID=2

After successful runing servers, I have installed HellowWorld application on both server and also application is running stage and showing indexpage,

http://192.168.0.101:8180/HellowWorld

http://192.168.0.101:8280/HellowWorld

but i am using different ports 8180 and 8280 for both server ! I wish to use as a cluster and use a single port for both, if server1 will failed then customer request goes to server2, i am using mod_jk connector for load-balancing, I have also try to use http://192.168.0.101:8009/HellowWorld but its not worked

Any buddy help me regard this matter plz ?

If you use http you need to have a loadbalancer in front of JBoss, i.e. Apache which manage the loadbalancing. JBoss only manage the session replication.

[asifalis]

I already used httpd in front of JBoss, can you tell me which port use for both server ?

[wdfink]

In that case you have to use the address from the httpd in front and configure mod_jk with the correct addresses of each JBoss instance

[asifalis]

I configured mod_jk and tell to mod_jk file about worker.properties file location with details server, I mention port 8009 in worker.properties, I copied past bellow configuration file and let me know if I am going wrong plz.

1.worker.properties

#for mapping requests

worker.list=loadbalancer,status

# Define rcyber2

# modify the host as your host IP or DNS name.

worker.rcyber1.port=8009

worker.rcyber1.host=192.168.48.35

worker.rcyber1.type=ajp13

worker.rcyber1.lbfactor=1

worker.rcyber1.cachesize=10

# Define rcyber2

# modify the host as your host IP or DNS name.

worker.rcyber2.port=8009

worker.rcyber2.host= 192.168.48.36

worker.rcyber2.type=ajp13

worker.rcyber2.lbfactor=1

worker.rcyber2.cachesize=10

#Load-balancing behaviour

worker.loadbalancer.type=lb

worker.loadbalancer.balance_workers=rcyber1,rcyber2

worker.loadbalancer.sticky_session=1

#worker.list=loadbalancer

2.

#load mod_jk module

# Where to put jk logs

# Mount your applications

JkMount /* loadbalancer

# We can use external file for mount points.

# It will be checked for updates each 60 seconds.

# The format of the file is: /url=worker

   JkMount status

   Order deny,allow

   Deny from all

#status worker for managing load balancer

worker.status.type=status

3.uriworkermap.properties

imple worker configuration file

# Mount the Servlet context to the ajp13 worker

/jmx-console=loadbalancer

/jmx-console/*=loadbalancer

/web-console=loadbalancer

/web-console/*=loadbalancer

and also define mod_jk in this

4th file httpd.conf

#Include mod_jk's specific configuration file

Include conf/mod_jk.conf

these files located on /etc/httpd/conf/

plz help me how should we access the application which use a cluster, http://ip:8009/applicaton ?

[wdfink]

From what I understand you try to connect the 8009 port which is the AJP port from the first JBoss instance.

What you need to do is to connect to apache, I think this will be the port 80 as you install all at the same machine.

Sorry apache configuration is outside of my domain
