Yes I have that same in server.xml on both tomcats. Thank you, Best Regards, Kashif Rahman From: Igor Cicimov [mailto:icicimov@xxxxxxxxx] Does the route parameters in the apache balancer tomcat1 and tomcat2 match the jvmRoute value in the tomcat connectors?

We are using mod_proxy_ajp Tomcat is clustered. Session replication works, if single Apache is handling 2 tomcat instances. When we start second Apache, tomcat session replication stops. We want to have failover for PHP side too. Thank you, Regards, Kashif Rahman. From: Igor Cicimov [mailto:icicimov@xxxxxxxxx] You can at least tell us what OS are these servers running on? Also you said when you put second apache something is not working so we would like to see your apache config if you dont mind. Another thing not clear to me is tomcat session replication. Are the tomcats clustered? If not how do they replicate the sessions between each other?

Can it be done using our requirement? Thank you, Regards, Kashif Rahman. From: Anam Ali Khan [mailto:anamalikhan@xxxxxxxxx] Hi, I would recommend HAProxy as a load balancer in your PHP + JSP application environment. It will work as follows: 1. First HAProxy will accept client request. 2. It will forward those requests to two machines via round robin 3. Each WebServer must use mod_jk as a connector (module) for Apache/Tomcat communication and session persistence. 4. HAproxy also perform health checking for two servers. -Anam From: Kashif Rahman <kashif.rahman@xxxxxxxxxx> Hi, We have requirement for to load balance our PHP + JSP application. I need to know that how can I load balance 2 Apache web Servers and 2 Tomcat Servers, 1st Web Server + Tomcat on 1st machine and 2nd Web Server + Tomcat on 2nd machine. We want to use Proxy Load Balancer for Apache to tomcat communication. If we use single Apache Web Server and 2 tomcat instances on different machines, it seems to be working and sharing session fine, but when we add 2nd apache web server to have fail over for PHP too, tomcat stops replicating session? If anyone is running such type of setup then kindly do let me know what could be the issues or anything missing. I am using Apache WebServer as a load balancer for both Apache too. Apache Webserver | | _____ |______ | | Apache Webserver Apache Webserver | | Tomcat Tomcat What could be the recommended solution for this requirement? Thank you, Best Regards, Kashif Rahman |
