Hello. Apache wrote such as following messages into error_log and returned HTTP 500/503 error infrequently. [error] (104)Connection reset by peer: ajp_ilink_receive() can't receive header [error] ajp_read_header: ajp_ilink_receive failed [error] (120006)APR does not understand this error code: proxy: read response failed from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8009 (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) I have installed Apache and JBoss Application Server into the same server. I suspected mod_proxy_ajp caused the errors because JBoss hasn't logged any messages and left indications of abort. After the setting of "ping" options, the errors disappeared instead of cping/cpong retry occurrence. Exactly: --------------------------------------------------- <Location /test> ProxyPass ajp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8009/test ping=1 </Location> --------------------------------------------------- I examine prior occurrences, but nobody told about the cause of this phenomenon. Does anybody tell me why the errors came up?
