Hello all...
I am working on a new setup and am having an issue, that I will admit, is
probably me misreading the docs. We have a couple of other load balance
solutions, so I am not new to the concept, this is just our first use of
haproxy.
I have 5 backend servers and I am trying to configure it so they can be taken
out of service by using the availability of a file. Here is the relevant config
section:
backend application-servers
balance roundrobin
appsession session_id len 32 timeout 1h
mode http
http-check disable-on-404
option httpchk /alive.htm
server bb-app1 10.200.35.1:80 check
server bb-app2 10.200.35.2:80 check
server bb-app3 10.200.35.3:80 check
server bb-app4 10.200.35.4:80 check
server bb-app5 10.200.35.5:80 check
What I am trying to do is if a file exists at the uri of /alive.htm the server
is available. If that file gets deleted off of the server that server will be
taken out of service for new connections and still allow existing connections.
For some reason this isn't working, when looking at the stats page all servers
show UP even though only one of the servers has the /alive.htm file on it. I am
running 1.3.19 on a 64bit architecture.
Can anyone see what I am missing, or have any other words of wisdom to
hopefully get this working for me?
Thanks
Kent
