Good evening All.
I have a few questions re the configuration and operation of mod_jk2 that I hope some
better informed user may be able to answer.
1. The documentation describes setting parameters in the httpd.conf file using JkSet,
and I have had success with worker parameters, but trying to set something like the
config file keeps eluding me. The 'object' name usually comes from the section head
[config], and since there is no local component name one expects the setting would be:
JkSet config.file conf/<filename>
However when I start apache2 the following error is generated depending on the form
used:
[Fri Jun 06 20:08:31 2003] [notice] mod_jk2: Unrecognized option config:file
conf/workers2.properties
[Fri Jun 06 20:17:55 2003] [notice] mod_jk2: Unrecognized option config.file
conf/workers2.properties
[Fri Jun 06 20:43:03 2003] [notice] mod_jk2: Unrecognized option config:.file
conf/workers2.properties
[Fri Jun 06 20:45:28 2003] [notice] mod_jk2: Unrecognized option config:file
${serverRoot}/conf/workers2.properties
Can someone enlighten me please?
2. The documentation indicates all objects have three standard properties, namely
'disabled', 'debug' and 'version', yet when 'version=0' is included in
workers2.properties under, for example, ajp13, mod_jk2 reports it as an unrecognised
option. Which is correct, the module or the documents?
3. The basic premise of load balancing is understandable but not the method by which
mod_jk achieves it. If two workers have the same lb_factor of 1, does that imply
every second (unique, assuming sticky sessions) request goes to each Tomcat? ... and
if the lb_factor is raised to 5 each? 5 to one then 5 the other?
If one Tomcat has an lb_factor of 20 and the other 2, does one do ten times the 'work'
and if so how is this 'measured'? ...over a period of time, by counters, by preference?
I've read mod_jk2 is still a work in progress but hope the questions might provide at
least a few ideas for inclusions.
Thanks in advance for any reply,
Norm
