I am trying to set up simple load balancing between Apache and two Tomcat instances, but am having problems with sticky sessions. I get thrown back and forth between the instances on each request. (I put a note at the top of the page on each instance to distinguish where the page has been served from and each request sends me back to the other server. I see "instance 1" at the top of the page, then refresh and see instance 2, then refresh and see instance 1 again, etc) My Apache Virtual Host: <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 6.0/sites/foo/ROOT/" ServerName foo.com ServerAlias www.foo.com DirectoryIndex index.php <Directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 6.0/sites/foo/ROOT/"> Allow from all </Directory> ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPassReverse / ajp://192.168.1.2:8009/ ProxyPassReverse / ajp://192.168.1.3:8009/ ProxyPass / balancer://mycluster stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid nofailover=Off ProxyPass /balancer-manager ! RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ balancer://mycluster/$1 [P,L,R] <Proxy balancer://mycluster> BalancerMember ajp://192.168.1.2:8009/ route=jvm1 loadfactor=50 BalancerMember ajp://192.168.1.3:8009/ route=jvm2 loadfactor=50 ProxySet lbmethod=byrequests </Proxy> <Location /balancer-manager> SetHandler balancer-manager Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 </Location> </VirtualHost> My two Tomcat instances are set up as: <Engine name="Standalone" defaultHost="localhost" jvmRoute="jvm1"> and <Engine name="Standalone" defaultHost="localhost" jvmRoute="jvm2"> Basically, what I want to happen is when I type in http://foo.com in the browser I am taken to jvm1 instance, when I type the same thing in another browser (new session) I am taken to jvm2 instance. Then, everytime I visit any page on foo.com from either browser, I am always served from the original instance I was assigned. Any help?
