Hi,
I've spent the last while trying to get clustering to work with orion server
1.5.2 without success. First I tried to follow the instructions at
http-clustering-howto.html from the documentation, it said:
Setting up the server
1. Install orion and start it.
2. Edit the orion/application-deployments/default/defaultWebApp/orion-web.xml
file and add:
<cluster-config />
3. Repeat 1 and 2 for another (or more) box(es).
But when I tried to connect to the server, the server let me know that the
file /orion/default-web-app/WEB-INF/web.xml hadn't got the tag
<distributable/> in it.
I then added this tag to all servers /orion/default-web-app/WEB-INF/web.xml
file in the cluster, and tried again, this time they actually ran the
SessionServlet but as if they were being run individually, i.e. the session
wasn't shared as it was supposed to be, I did remember to append
;jsessionid=<ID YOU GET ON YOUR BOX1 SCREEN>
to it and tried both leaving the angle brackets in and out.
I know I must be doing some thing wrong but I can't find it, I'd really
appreciate some help.
I noticed in the http-clustering.html that in the clustering it mentions the
default for multicast host/ip to transmit and receive cluster data on is
230.0.0.1, port number 9127, does this mean I have to have a network card
listening on this IP/port?
What exactly is a network with operational multicast facilities, is plain
100Mbs ethernet running on linux OK?
Thanks,
Oisin
