Retry connection to reverse proxy backend

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I've configured Apache as a reverse proxy for my application server. When the backend server isn't available, Apache quickly responds the browser with an error 503.

There are short downtimes while I'm upgrading the application server. But Apache doesn't even care to retry and make the connection request succeed maybe a few seconds later. It always raises error 503.

Can I configure Apache to try a little harder, and if the backend isn't responding, wait a second and try again a couple times? That would make connections much more reliable and the client wouldn't have to deal with connection retrying so often.

There's a "retry" option for the ProxyPass command but it has a different meaning. It just tells Apache to not retry until the number of seconds has elapsed. It might as well be named "dontretrybefore". I'm looking for an option that could be named "retryconnect".
