    Connecting apache and Widfly using mod_cluster

      I am trying to setup mod_cluster as a reverse proxy for Wildfly 9. When I use http as a protocol (between mod_cluster and Wildfly), everything works just fine (forwarding requests to application server and detecting server).

       

       

      My problems come up when I try to wire mod_cluster and wildfly using ajp as a protocol. I checked mod_cluster-manager and it seemed that

      mod_cluster was connected to wildfly, but it couldn't forward

      requests to application server.

       

       

      I have the following configuration:

       

       

      - http server: Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu)

      - application server: Wildfly 9.0.2

      - mod_cluster: 1.3

       

       

      mod_cluster.conf

      Wildfly Configuration (relevant fragments):

       

       

      mod_cluster subsystem:

       

              <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:modcluster:2.0">

                  <mod-cluster-config advertise-socket="modcluster"

                                      proxies="mc-prox1"

                                      advertise="false"

                                      sticky-session-force="true" load-balancing-group="mycluster" connector="ajp">

                      <dynamic-load-provider>

                          <load-metric type="cpu"/>

                      </dynamic-load-provider>

                  </mod-cluster-config>

              </subsystem>

       

       

       

      outbound-socket-binding:

       

              <outbound-socket-binding name="mc-prox1">

                  <remote-destination host="192.168.0.71" port="5555"/>

              </outbound-socket-binding>

       

      [EDIT]

       

      My AJP configuration:

      <socket-binding-group name="standard-sockets" default-interface="public" port-offset="${jboss.socket.binding.port-offset:1500}">
        <socket-binding name="ajp" port="${jboss.ajp.port:0}" />
      .......
      </socket-binding-group>

       

      [EDIT2]

      When I set ajp port to 8009, it works. I want to use custom port number. Does anyone have a clue how to do it?
