Broken pipe: ajp_ilink_send(): send failed

["Mehta, Anish" <amehta@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi – I have Apache 2.2.3 Web server that connects to two Tomcat 5.5.26 app servers via mod_proxy_ajp. Following is the configuration on Web Server.

 

ProxyRequests Off

<Proxy *>

        Order deny,allow

        Allow from all

</Proxy>

 

<Proxy balancer://ampapps>

        BalancerMember ajp://<App Server1 IP>:8009 route=app1 keepalive=On timeout=300

        BalancerMember ajp://<App Server1 IP>:8009 route=app2 keepalive=On timeout=300

</Proxy>

 

<Location /amp-int>

        ProxyPass balancer://ampapps/amp-int stickysession=JSESSIONID

        ProxyPassReverse balancer://ampapps/amp-int

</Location>

 

<Location /amp>

        ProxyPass balancer://ampapps/amp stickysession=JSESSIONID

        ProxyPassReverse balancer://ampapps/amp

</Location>

 

<Location /balancer-manager>

SetHandler balancer-manager

 

Order Deny,Allow

Allow from all

</Location>

 

Earlier I had nofailover-On against ProxyPass but that seems to be causing frequent connection timeout problems. Now with this configuration, I get

 

(32)Broken pipe: ajp_ilink_send(): send failed

 

It comes after some idle time and recovers after few minutes. But the user see 503 – Server Unavailable error whenever it comes. Any help is greatly appreciated.
