Re: Is there a way to return non-200 status when HHVM backend is down?

I miss read your question and thought you were asking it the other way around.

The only thing I can think of would be to have HHVM handle every request itself instead of having HTTPD serve static files.

If you use mod_rewrite instead of ProxyPass, you can specify it should only proxy for files that don't exist. This is an example from the documentation:

RewriteCond "%{REQUEST_FILENAME}" !-f
RewriteCond "%{REQUEST_FILENAME}" !-d
RewriteRule "^/(.*)" "http://old.example.com/$1" [P]

Hi,
I'm running Apache 2.4 with HHVM backend (.php processing is going to HHVM on :9000 with
ProxyPassMatch directive).

From time to time HHVM  service is freezing, so PHP stuff return 503, but static pages work as usual. I'd like Apache to return 503 or any non-200 status for static pages  in this situation. How this can be done?

TIA,

Yehuda,

thank you, but I'm not sure I understand how it will help.

My goal is to return 503 status to *all* http requests when HHVM is down.

(why? - I'm using Incapsula loadbalancing; and Incapsula is using live traffic for decide if server up/down. So my server stays "up" in Incasula when HHVM down)
