Re: TimeOuts Received. (Apache Users)

# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file. It contains the

# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.

# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2> for detailed information.

# In particular, see

# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/directives.html>

# for a discussion of each configuration directive.

# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding

# what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure

# consult the online docs. You have been warned.

# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many

# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the

# server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin

# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo_log"

# with ServerRoot set to "/opt/qasp04/Apache" will be interpreted by the

# server as "/opt/qasp04/Apache/logs/foo_log".

# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's

# configuration, error, and log files are kept.

# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path. If you point

# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive

# at a local disk. If you wish to share the same ServerRoot for multiple

# httpd daemons, you will need to change at least LockFile and PidFile.

ServerRoot "/opt/Apache"

#TimeOut Amount of time the server will wait for certain events before failing a request

TimeOut 300

#KeepAlive This will keep persistent connections on.

KeepAlive On

#KeepAliveTimeout Amount of time the server will wait for subsequent requests on a persistent connection

KeepAliveTimeout 10

#MaxKeepAliveRequests Number of requests allowed on a persistent connection

MaxKeepAliveRequests 0

#UseCanonicalName Configures how the server determines its own name and port

UseCanonicalName off

# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or

# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>

# directive.

# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to

I would say since i can not see any time out from WLS side during the tests i do not feel it can be a problem with WLS.

Also and since its been tested with out proxy server and no time outs are received so some how it points towards the proxy server which is having problems.

I can see messages of timeouts at RPT console where response is not received for the request.

Surprisingly i can not see any error logs for time outs any where in app server logs or proxy server logs.

We did a test again with out proxy servers where requests were directly hitting the app server every thing works well than no timeouts are noticted.

So it looks like the issue is with the proxy server do you have any suggestions for any tunable parameters.

Some of the parameters currently used.

Gaurav ....

What OS is apache running on? What is apache version? What is your proxy configuration? What do you see in the log files, anything related to the timeouts from mod_proxy? Have you first tested the connectivity between apache and Weblogic meaning can you even connect from the apache box to the weblogic port on the other server? Any possible firewall between the servers?

--
Cheers !!

Gaurav ....

Ok what else is between Apache proxy and those 4 x Weblogic servers? Are you using Apache as proxy load balancer or you have dedicated LB after it? How's your load balancing set up?

Please post here your proxy configuration, including virtual host if the proxy is nested inside one, so we can try to find if anything wrong here.

Your max number of concurrent client connections on your proxy is 20000. Do you have thread pool of 20000 configured in Weblogic as well, meaning 5000 threads per server? Also is that thread pool on each of the WLS shared with some other applications or not? My point is maybe the timeouts are really timeouts due to WLS (maybe one of them at time) is going out of resources.

You said you tested the connection bypassing the proxy and it was fine. Was this at the time of the proxy timeouts? If not your test is irrelevant.
