Hello list,
This is my first post so treat me gently :)
I'm trying to configure Apache + Tomcat with load balancing capabilities and
I'm planning to use mod_jk to accomplish this, unfortunately I have not been
very successfull. The HOWTOs I found in the net must be outdated since I'm
not really acomplishing anything usefull, also because apache is complaining
about some options (as I will post below) that the HOWTO told me to put in
the worker.properties file indicating that these options are deprectated.
So here is my setup:
Apache 2.2.6
Tomcat 5.5.26
mod_jk 1.2.25 (was the name of the .tgz I downloaded)
My workers.properties looks like this:
workers.tomcat_home=/usr/local/tomcat/
workers.java_home=/usr/local/sdk/jdk
ps=/
worker.list=worker1, worker2
worker.worker1.port=20009
worker.worker1.host=rh01
worker.worker1.type=ajp13
worker.worker1.lbfactor=1
worker.worker2.port=8009
worker.worker2.host=rh02
worker.worker2.type=ajp13
worker.worker2.lbfactor=1
worker.loadbalancer.type=lb
worker.loadbalancer.balance_workers=worker1, worker2
worker.inprocess.type=jni
worker.inprocess.class_path=$(workers.tomcat_home
)$(ps)lib$(ps)tomcat.jar
worker.inprocess.cmd_line=start
worker.inprocess.jvm_lib=$(workers.java_home
)$(ps)jre$(ps)lib$(ps)i386$(ps)classic$(ps)libjvm.so
worker.inprocess.stdout=$(workers.tomcat_home
)$(ps)logs$(ps)inprocess.stdout
worker.inprocess.stderr=$(workers.tomcat_home
)$(ps)logs$(ps)inprocess.stderr
I then start the tomcat servers and the apache server, this comes from the
mod_jk.log:

The server works fine and apache is giving me static content and the tomcat
standing at rh01 host is giving me dynamic content. For testing purposes I
do a shutdown to the tomcat server at rh01 and the mod_jk.log reports:

Tomcat is probably not started or is listening on the wrong port

It seems not to even try to go to rh02, just gives up when it is unable to
reach rh01. On the browser I get a typical 503 error.
So if anyone has this setup running I would love to ear possible solutions
to work around this.
Thank you,
Nuno
