Hi, all I have an Apache reverse proxy server (v2.2.22, Redhat EL v6.2, x86_64). The reverse proxy server connects to backend MS Exchange server for webmail through https connection. On the proxy server, I configured proxy balancer with HA mode for two backend Exchange server in the Apache configuration. It ran for over years no problem. Recently we migrated one of the backend Exchange server to VMware based virtual server which is also primary backend server configured in Apache. Now we see a lot of backend server switching on the Apache server with the message and people get logged out from the MS webmail session from their browser: [Tue May 08 23:50:14 2012] [error] [client 166.137.138.75] (70007)The timeout specified has expired: proxy: error reading status line from remote server int_ex.corp.com:443 [Tue May 08 23:50:14 2012] [error] [client 166.137.138.75] proxy: Error reading from remote server returned by /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync [Tue May 08 23:50:25 2012] [error] [client 113.28.152.94] (70007)The timeout specified has expired: proxy: error reading status line from remote server int_ex.corp.com:443 [Tue May 08 23:50:25 2012] [error] [client 113.28.152.94] proxy: Error reading from remote server returned by /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync [Tue May 08 23:50:27 2012] [error] [client 24.152.245.33] (70007)The timeout specified has expired: proxy: error reading status line from remote server int_ex.corp.com:443 [Tue May 08 23:50:27 2012] [error] [client 24.152.245.33] proxy: Error reading from remote server returned by /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync [Tue May 08 23:50:32 2012] [error] [client 198.228.199.206] (70007)The timeout specified has expired: proxy: error reading status line from remote server int_ex.corp.com:443 [Tue May 08 23:50:32 2012] [error] [client 198.228.199.206] proxy: Error reading from remote server returned by /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync [Tue May 08 23:50:33 2012] [error] [client 208.54.37.175] (70007)The timeout specified has expired: proxy: error reading status line from remote server int_ex.corp.com:443 [Tue May 08 23:50:33 2012] [error] [client 208.54.37.175] proxy: Error reading from remote server returned by /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync In the proxypass statement of the Apache httpd-ssl.conf to the backend server, I use default value. What is the default timeout value that Apache reverse proxy server connects to backend server for https for "proxypass" statement? How can I extend the timeout value? What could be the reason or wrong here so I can modify the configuration? We have hundreds mobile devices get emails from the Apache reverse proxy server. Thanks.
