Hi there, we are using mod_proxy, mod_proxy_ajp and mod_proxy_balancer for loadbalancing between two tomcat servers. We are using apache 2.2.3 (Linux/SUSE) (on suse linux enterprise server) and two tomcats 6.0.26 Our proxy related apache configuration looks like <Proxy balancer://mycluster/> BalancerMember ajp://localhost:7009 route=jvmtest01 BalancerMember ajp://localhost:7010 route=jvmtest02 </Proxy> ProxyPass / balancer://mycluster/ stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid nofailover=On ProxyPassReverse / balancer://mycluster/ The tomcat setings.xml seems to be correct as well: tomcat1 <Connector port="7080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" /> <Connector port="7009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" /> <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost" jvmRoute="jvmtest01"> tomcat2 <Connector port="7081" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" /> <Connector port="7010" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" /> <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost" jvmRoute="jvmtest02"> As long as only one balancermember is defined everything works as expected. So <Proxy balancer://mycluster/> # BalancerMember ajp://localhost:7009 route=jvmtest01 BalancerMember ajp://localhost:7010 route=jvmtest02 </Proxy> As well as <Proxy balancer://mycluster/> BalancerMember ajp://localhost:7009 route=jvmtest01 # BalancerMember ajp://localhost:7010 route=jvmtest02 </Proxy> is working. But as soon as both BalancerMember are configured we are getting an endless loop once we try to access the app. See the following requests and responses that the browser is performing below. Looks like the "stickyness" somehow does not work? The funny thing is that the same setup as above works on an ubuntu system with Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) One additional part of information is the fact that while starting troublemaking apache (the one on suse) the error "Cannot determine host name..." occurs. Could it be that this is the reason why it does not work? Unfortunately I wasn't able to correct that error message because I no longer have root access to the system. Any other ideas of how to possibly fix this?
