Hi, I'm seeing the following in my apache error log: proxy: Error reading from remote serverBut I'm having trouble tying it up to a request in the access log and also having problem diagnosing the exact fault. Can I therefore ask a few questions?
1. We use mod_proxy as part of a whole pile of URL rewriting we do. I *think* the proxy is timing out during the rewriting process, possibly because Apache gets busy. We also limit the bandwidth on this site so that might be causing the timeout. Does this seem a reasonable explanation? Or does anyone else have any other ideas?
2. Another possibility is that a lot of our pages make http requests to external services behind the scenes, before returning to the user. If these external services fail to respond, this may also cause the proxy timeout. Comments?
3. I have ProxyErrorOverride turned on, but does this error have an associated HTTP 1.1 status code that I can trap and then give a better error? I don't see anything in the access logs, but that might be because its trapped inside mod_rewrite.
4. When this error occurs, it doesn't seem to be either <Timeout> or <ProxyTimeout> after the request is made. My understanding is that this error occurs because the proxy times out, but which timeout value is it supposed to use?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give. cheers Matt -- Matthew Claridge Product Support Engineer RWA Limited Tel: 02920 815 054 Email: mclaridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Web: www.rwa-net.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
