RE: JRun Clustering problem - Instance keeps "shutting down"

2008-02-28 Thread Brad Wood
I just poked around my server a bit...

Exactly what log file did you past from in the OP.
If you have a dedicated IIS box and depending on your OS, I'm not sure
if the directories will be the same, but do you have anything useful in
these logs:
C:\JRun4\lib\wsconfig\wsconfig.log
C:\JRun4\lib\wsconfig\1\LogFiles\jrun_iis6_wildcard00.log

In the last log, the "1" directory corresponds to the clusters set up in
C:\JRun4\lib\wsconfig\wsconfig.properties.  I obviously have IIS6, and
the number on the end of the file name is auto-incrementing.

Subject: RE: JRun Clustering problem - Instance keeps "shutting

Is it possible there is a connectivity issue which is causing the JRun
connectors (which are loaded on the IIS box and control load balancing)
to think that instance is down?

I don't know off the top of my head if there is a log file on the IIS
box.

Thanks AJ. Is that the "give it a kick" approach :-)

We actually had a phase before all this started where IIS stopped
processing requests and then "very kindly" jammed up both server
instances, stopping the site completely. It wasn't until we restarted it
or the server that it would release the other instance.

We've not had an IIS-related problem now since the 24th of January so I
don't think this is related to that. That and the fact that JRun is
actually telling us that it's dropping the instance while IIS shows
normal activity.

That is probably because the JRun connector loaded in IIS is what
divvies up the requests.

I don't know if it is of any help, but when one of our instances stops
receiving any requests, it takes a IIS restart to pick it up again.

Bouncing the instance has no effect

JRun Clustering problem - Instance keeps "shutting down"

2008-02-28 Thread James Buckingham
Hi there,

We've been having a lot of problems recently with one of our Cluster instances 
whereby it keeps either shutting itself down or starts to reject threads. There 
isn't a set pattern to when this happens but it is only happening on one 
instance (we have four in total separated 50/50 on two servers).

When JRun starts rejecting requests we're seeing this kind of thing in the logs:
