Hi, I'm trying to configure mod_proxy_balancer with a simple cluster and have run into a configuration problem that has me stumped. It's probably very simple and I'm just missing something ;) Your help is appreciated. I have three machines, www1.mydomain.com, www2.mydomain.com, and www3.mydomain.com. All are running httpd 2.2.2 on Fedora Core 5 (64-bit), with the default httpd.conf file, only the serveradmin email address is changed. I'd like www1 to be the "master" or balancer proxy, so I've created the following file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/balancer.conf: ProxyPass / balancer://mycluster stickysession=jsessionid nofailover=On ProxyPassReverse / balancer://mycluster <Proxy balancer://mycluster> BalancerMember http://[ip address of www2.mydomain.com] BalancerMember http://[ip address of www3.mydomain.com] </Proxy> <Location /balancer-manager> SetHandler balancer-manager Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from .mydomain.com </Location> On www2 and www3, I created little test files, /var/www/html/test.html on each machine, with just one line saying "hi I'm www2" on www2, and "hi i'm www3" on www3. Here's what I'm seeing: - When I access http://www2.mydomain.com/test.html directly, I see the www2 file, no problem - When I access http://www3.mydomain.com/test.html directly, I see the www3 file, no problem - When I access http://www1.mydomain.com/test.html, I get a 403 forbidden error. This is the problem. - When I access http://www1.mydomain.com/ I get the directory listings from www2 or www3, as expected/. The directory listing includes the test.html file (with the right size, modification date, etc.), and the footer includes the correct server name and admin email. But if I click on test.html I get the 403 error as above. If I refresh, I get the directory listings from the other server, so I know the balancing is correctly switching servers with each request. What am I missing? Any help would be appreciated.
