[users@httpd] 2 Tomcat instances on one box: stop bouncing between them?

[Clute, Andrew]

I have one box, that hosts both my dev and stage environments. Both are different config directories inside of JBoss 4.0.3sp1. Each one is bound to a different IP address.

I have turned on the jvmRoute for both instances.

The domain names are dev.foobar.com and stage.foobar.com

For some reason, while my URL in the browser will stay the same, it will flip between which JBoss instance is responding. And when I look at the cookies for each flip, they are the exact same (sometimes I will get a '.stage' appending, but be shown the dev site).

I am using the default config, so clustering is not enabled (I think).

I am fronting this with Apache 2.2, using the new mod_proxy_ajp settings.

Here is the relelvant httpd.conf sections:

Code:

<VirtualHost *> ServerName stage.foobar.com ErrorLog logs/stage-error_log.log CustomLog logs/stage-access.log combined ProxyPass /jcore ajp://192.168.2.87/jcore smax=5 max=20 ttl=30 retry=60 route=stage ProxyPreserveHost on </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *> ServerName dev.foobar.com ErrorLog logs/stage-error_log.log CustomLog logs/stage-access.log combined ProxyPass /jcore ajp://192.168.2.85/jcore smax=5 max=20 ttl=30 retry=60 route=dev ProxyPreserveHost on </VirtualHost>

There is no consistent nature to this. Anyone seen something like this before?

 

Thanks in advance!
