Hello All,
 I could successfully get load balancing work using two Tomcat 5.0 and one apache 2 servers running on the SAME MACHINE as mentioned in the book. However i want to have my tomcats on different machines. I will really appreciate if some one can give me example workers2.properties file and jk2.properties file.

Thanks in advance,
Ram

Only a couple of changes to make that possible:

- 1st, you don' t need to change the default ports (e.g., 8009) because you're running Tomcat on different hosts now.

- for each worker, specify the hostname or IP address[channel.socket:192.168.3.5:8009]
port=8009
host=192.168.3.5
...
[ajp13:192.168.3.5:8009]

# Tomcat5B
[channel.socket:192.168.3.6:8009]
port=8009
host=192.168.3.6
...

[ajp13:192.168.3.6:8009]

...

- for the group (lb worker)
[lb:balanced]
worker=ajp13:192.168.3.5:8009
worker=ajp13:192.168.3.6:8009

Voila`. Good luck.

Hello All,
 I am unsuccessfully trying to do load balancing using two Tomcat 5.0 and one apache 2 servers running on the SAME MACHINE.

Can some one bail me out?

I will really appreciate if some one can give me example workers2.properties file and jk2.properties file.

Hi,

I have my application deployed on Jboss-tomcat on 2 linux machines. These instances are standalone and are not aware of each other.

I have my Apache2.0.50 on my win2k desktop. And using the the workers2.prop file mentioned above, i have pointed requests to the apache to the 2 my application deployed on the 2 linux servers.
I am having a session time out issue since the session is not getting carried over to both the linux instances while using the app.
Due to this,the user is asked to log in multiple times.

What is the optimal solution for this?
Is this one: Make my session sticky - ie. once the user hits a particular node (jboss-tomcat) behind apache, he continues to hit the same node.

How do i configure this on my apache?

If this is possible, can apache take care of session failovers (in the event one of my linux servers goes down automatically moves over to the next server without the user having to login)?

Could some one help me out with this at the earliest?

Thanks and Regards,
Ajith
