I am using an apache server to act as a load balancer to my tomcat server...
I am using reverse proxy for doing this.. The major lines of change in my http conf are these <IfModule mod_proxy.c> ProxyRequests Off <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from all SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1 SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1 </Proxy> ProxyPass /blah http://localhost:8090/blah ProxyPassReverse /blah http://localhost:8090/blah ProxyPass /blah http://localhost:8091/blah ProxyPassReverse /blah http://localhost:8091/blah My tomcat server conf has this line added with other appropriate changes <Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector" port="8091" maxKeepAliveRequests="1" protocol="HTTP/1.1" proxyPort="80"/> Now I am getting this error in my server logs which I have no idea as to how to fix [Sun Apr 20 03:35:57 2008] [error] [client 66.249.85.88] proxy: error reading status line from remote server localhost [Sun Apr 20 03:35:57 2008] [error] [client 66.249.85.88] proxy: Error reading from remote server returned by blah As soon as this error comes soon I am bombarded with errors like (111)Connection refused: proxy: HTTP: attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:8091(localhost) failed All tht I get on my webserver is a 500 response.... I am lost.... Please help....I gooogled a lot and added SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1 SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1 and also removed keepaliverequest from tomcat. but still I soon ended up getting into this problem :( I pinged tomcat to see if I can connect to it and I saw I could not.... there were at that instant abt 500 connections opened on tomcat and all were in TIME _WAIT state...... What can be the problem... I am lost :( -- Parag Dhanuka
