Hi Experts,I have the following setup: Apache1 / \ Apache2 Apache3 \ / Tomcat1 All Apaches are version 2.2.3 (RedHat) Apache2 and Apache3 loadbalance Tomcat1 (6.0.18) with mod_jk (2.2.28). In idle state the AJP connector of Tomcat1 only has 7 active connections. After launching a stress test of Tomcat1, it's AJP connector has reached maxThreads (200). After the stress test has finished, there are still 200 active connections in the AJP connector. Because of this, apache2 and apache2 cannot receive any heartbeat message anymore from the AJP connector and mark Tomcat1 as dead. I can access perfectly through port 8080, so Tomcat1 isn't dead at all!
You have a usual setup problem where the number of connections in httpd fronting tomcat is too high for a tomcat. And you don't have any mechanism for limiting those connections. Now, RHEL5 offers both the the prefork (default) and worker (httpd.worker) mpm, so if you wish to use that topology of yours you will have to do do two things. 1. Use worker mpm 2. Limit the number of connections from httpd to tomcat by using connection pool (hint. maxThreads in Tomcat <= ServerLimit * ThreadsPerChild) There is a nice calculator that my co-worker wrote: http://lbconfig.appspot.com/ It's a simple and it'll generate all configs for you.
