This is what we are currently looking into. Will let you know when we have results on that.Craig Main wrote: > Thanks Andre, > > I am using apache to connect to 10 tomcat instances using the ajp > connector with load balancing and sticky sessions. > > Apache: > Load [root@lt-webportal-01:~] # /opt/apache/bin/apachectl -V > Server version: Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) > Server built: Sep 6 2008 15:33:44 > Server's Module Magic Number: 20051115:15 > Server loaded: APR 1.3.0, APR-Util 1.3.0 > Compiled using: APR 1.3.0, APR-Util 1.3.0 > Architecture: 64-bit > Server MPM: Prefork > threaded: no > forked: yes (variable process count) > Server compiled with.... > -D APACHE_MPM_DIR="server/mpm/prefork" > -D APR_HAS_SENDFILE > -D APR_HAS_MMAP > -D APR_HAVE_IPV6 (IPv4-mapped addresses enabled) > -D APR_USE_SYSVSEM_SERIALIZE > -D APR_USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE > -D SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT > -D APR_HAS_OTHER_CHILD > -D AP_HAVE_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS > -D DYNAMIC_MODULE_LIMIT=128 > -D HTTPD_ROOT="/opt/http-2.2.9" > -D SUEXEC_BIN="/opt/http-2.2.9/bin/suexec" > -D DEFAULT_PIDLOG="logs/httpd.pid" > -D DEFAULT_SCOREBOARD="logs/apache_runtime_status" > -D DEFAULT_LOCKFILE="logs/accept.lock" > -D DEFAULT_ERRORLOG="logs/error_log" > -D AP_TYPES_CONFIG_FILE="/opt/etc/httpd/mime.types" > -D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="/opt/etc/httpd/httpd.conf" > > Tomcat: apache-tomcat-6.0.18 > > Platform: CentOS 5.2 64bit > > > The problem points to the ajp connection as we have done the following > tests: > > 1) Load tested http with our static content. - Good Response times > 2) Load tested with the tomcat ajp load balancing to 10 tomcat > instances: > * When we test the site's static content, the speed is fine > * When we test the site's pages that go to tomcat, we see the > same page returning sometimes fast, and other times slow. > * If we test connecting to the tomcat via it's http connector > from the command line, the speed is fine under load. > * If we test connecting to the apache requesting the tomcat > pages, some of the requests are returned quickly, others are slow. > 3) At first we thought it could be an specific instance of Tomcat, but > on investigation, one request to a particular instance was fast, and > others we slow to the same instance. > > Please let me know if you need more information. > I believe that will do fine. ;-) Just another question, because someone is bound to ask : would it be an option for you to test with mod_jk instead of mod_proxy_ajp as a connector on the httpd side, and compare the results ? Not to say that one or the other is better, but mod_jk has been there longer, and is probably more mature. And it would help circumscribing the issue.
