Apache 2.2.11 I am reviewing the timeout values in worker.properties because currently if one node out of so many other nodes in a jboss cluster reboots or dies then we see that connection piles up on the web server. It looks like it's because of retries and and prepost_timeout that lot of requests hang. What I am looking for is correct settings that will take worker out of service if node is not reachable and pings every 7 seconds if node is up or not. These are my current settings and I think this is what I need to do change: worker.host2533.type=ajp13 worker.host2533.port=8009 worker.host2533.host=host2533 worker.host2533.socket_timeout=5 worker.host2533.socket_keepalive=true worker.host2533.prepost_timeout=5 worker.host2533.connect_timeout=5000 worker.host2533.retries=3 worker.host2533.recycle_timeout=900 to - basically remove retries so that it doesn't cause long hangs when server is down. worker.host2533.type=ajp13 worker.host2533.port=8009 worker.host2533.host=host2533 worker.host2533.socket_keepalive=true worker.host2533.connect_timeout=5000 worker.host2533.recycle_timeout=900 I don't see a value in connector timeout manual that checks every 7 sec and leave worker out of service for 7 secs. Could you please let me know if mod_jk timeout configuration support such a thing that I am trying to do? --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
