Can't serve multiple contexts

[jplorier]

Hi,

I'm quite rookie to modcluster and I need to publish two contexts in different server groups but I can't get the to work. I have context 1 in a server group on port 8080 and context 2 on 8180. Modcluster is able to see both apps correctly except for the alias it detects. (in one context it uses one correct alias and another that is not set in the domain, in the other, uses de same alias that in the first context even when it has a different alias defined and doesn't have the incorrect autodetected alias).

The jboss domain has configured the default virtual server to use context 1 ear. If I request the apps from the load balancer, I can get them right, but If I request them to apache, I get test page for root context and 404 for the defined contexts.

Anyone can help me to figure out what I'm doing wrong?

Regards:

PS: I'm running apache 2.4 on Centos 7 with modcluster 1.3.1.8, jboss EAP 6.3.4

not sure I get what you are trying to do...

Basically mod_cluster_manager should display the aliases and context if you don't see what you expect it won't work.

Additionally EAP 6.3.4 is old, can't you use a newer version?

Hi,

First, sorry for my mistake, it's eap 6.4.3.

I can see the contexts I expect to see in the manager. I also see that the aliases are incorrect and can't find where it's getting them.

I have two apps, broker and storedprox. Each in a different server group, broker on port 8080 with alias prep.hg.sucive.gub.uy and showing that alias and broker in the manager, storedproc on port 8180 with alias stored.prep.hg.sucive.gub.uy and showing in the manager the same alias that broker (which is wrong).

I checked that server alias is right for both virtual servers in EAP and in neither case, there's a broker alias defined.

If I point to prep.hg.sucive.gub.uy, I should be answered by the default virtual server, but I'm getting apache test page. If I add either context, I get a 404 (prep.hg.sucive.gub.uy/broker or prep.hg.sucive.gub.uy/storedproc)

If you need me to clarify further, please let me know.

you need to define the virtual-server with its aliases in the web subsystem and use the same virtual-server in jboss-web.xml of the web-app.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply but I had to ask the dev team to change the jboss-web.xml. They added the tag <virtual-host>broker</virtual-host> to the file. The result is the same. This is the output of the modcluster_manager:

I'm adding jboss virtual server configuration:

just in case, I've now installed mod_cluster 1.3.1 as I was running an alpha version to check if something changes.

Hi there,

Can you help me out with this? Maybe it's a simple configuration I'm missing, but I'm stuck without ideas to try any further.

[jfclere]

It looks OK are you do the correct requests aka something like?

curl -v http://prep.hg.sucive.gub.uy:port/storedproc/

port being the port using in httpd (main server or virtualhost), basically the Host: prep.hg.sucive.gub.uy is what is routing to the right application.
