Hi,
I am trying to get mod_jk working with apache2.2.22 on RHEL 4 with two tomcat servers all on the same machine, I know I'm probably asking for trouble...but it works fine for both tomcats if I only have one tomcat node configured in the workers.properties but if I try to add both tomcat1 and tomcat2 as below the Apache doesn't recognize my tomcat2 - if I stop the tomcat 1 it just says service is unavailable it won't proxy to tomcat2

I have a host file entry for localhost2 that pings fine and changed the ports in the server.xml and they are listening on the server and I can connect to both tomcat nodes directly.

worker.list=tomcat1, tomcat2
worker.tomcat1.type=ajp13
worker.tomcat2.type=ajp13
worker.tomcat1.host=localhost
worker.tomcat2.host=localhost2
worker.tomcat1.port=8009
worker.tomcat2.port=8010
worker.tomcat1.connection_pool_size=150
worker.tomcat2.connection_pool_size=150
worker.tomcat1.socket_keepalive=1
worker.tomcat2.socket_keepalive=1
worker.tomcat1.mount=/* /*
worker.tomcat2.mount=/* /*

worker.balance1.type=lb
worker.balance1.balance_workers=tomcat1, tomcat2

any pointers in the right direction much appreciated.

ok spotted a link in another post which confirmed I had missed some config and put in a load of rubbish in the workers.properties

http://my.safaribooksonline.com/book/-/9781849516624/9dot-clustering-in-tomcat-7/id286784234

so now I have clustering enabled in my two server.xml's and my modjk_logs say both nodes are configured OK as below...but I still can't get apache to route to the tomcat2 instance, if I stop tomcat1 it just fails with service temp unavailable...

is mod_jk even supported any more? I see on the Apache web site when you look at load balancing it refers you straight to mod_proxy rather than mod_jk

OK so I managed to configure my apache to proxy back to both my tomcats using the loadbalancer configs below tomcat1 is active and then if tomcat1 fails apache redirects to tomcat2 for anyone who's interested the working config is below

httpd.conf - note that the JkMount is pointing to the "router" not the individual workers tomcat1 or tomcat2

# Load mod_jk module
# Update this path to match your modules location
LoadModule jk_module /opt/apache22/modules/mod_jk.so
# Declare the module for <IfModule directive> (remove this line on Apache 2.x)
#AddModule mod_jk.c
# Where to find workers.properties
# Update this path to match your conf directory location (put workers.properties next to httpd.conf)
JkWorkersFile /opt/apache22/conf/workers.properties
# Where to put jk shared memory
# Update this path to match your local state directory or logs directory
JkShmFile /opt/apache22/logs/mod_jk.shm
# Where to put jk logs
# Update this path to match your logs directory location (put mod_jk.log next to access_log)
JkLogFile /opt/apache22/logs/mod_jk.log
# Set the jk log level [debug/error/info]
JkLogLevel debug
# Select the timestamp log format
JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] "
# Send everything for context /examples to worker named worker1 (ajp13)
JkMount /* router

workers.properties

worker.list=router
worker.router.type=lb
worker.router.balance_workers=tomcat1, tomcat2
# Define the first member worker
worker.tomcat1.type=ajp13
worker.tomcat1.host=localhost
worker.tomcat1.port=8009
# Define preferred failover node for tomcat1
worker.tomcat1.redirect=tomcat2
# Define the second member worker
worker.tomcat2.type=ajp13
worker.tomcat2.host=localhost
worker.tomcat2.port=8010
# Disabled tomcat2 for all requests except failover
worker.tomcat2.activation=disabled

hope this saves someone else enless hours of frustration, still I'll never forget how to do this again.

 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
