RE: Apache and Orion

2001-07-12 Thread Gurinder Randhawa




I am running an orion cluster behind a  load balancer and Apache at the
front end on same machine, its on a test
system so theirs no real load. We are using Oracles 9i Application Server.

We use Apache for oracle reports and SSL and of course serving up static
content etc.
The problem is with mod_proxy which is just plain slow.

Oracle is coming out with a ojp protocol which is based on ajp13 which will
solve my problems,
but until then (late october) I wanted to use Orion but it just doesn't
integrate well with apache.

Any suggestions ? No i haven't tried the tunnelServlet, I will look into
that.

I was just wondering if anyone else has this kind of setup. Note we are
using
Oracle's OC4J (which is essentially orion). They bought Orion and popped it
into their next release
of application server.

Regards

Gurinder

Have you tried using the tunnelServlet to pass all static requests to
Apache? Its a little "bass-ackwards", but orion could be faster than apache
in this respect.

Also, are you running orion, the loadbalancer,  and apache on the same
machine? This could be just a load issue.

Lastly, orion is generally faster than apache at serving up static content.
There are very good reasons for using apache for static content, though,
that have nothing to do with speed. (For example, you have one ssl cert for
apache, and you don't want to pay for another one for orion.).

Is anyone using Apache as a front end to Orion. I find that using mod_proxy
  to forward web application requests

is quite slow compared to using tomcat. Does anyone know if there is
  something else i can use beside mod_proxy

for Apache to serve static pages and orion to serve my web applications ?



I do need to use Apache as a front end server.

I am also using a loadbalancer and a cluster for my orion setup behind

Re: Cluster configuration

2001-07-09 Thread Gurinder Randhawa




In regards to my last email i have changed RMI and JMS ports fine and i got
rid of Address
already in use message upon Orion instance startup.

However i still cannot shutdown the processes properly. I have also noticed
multiple Loadbalancer
processes running, I don't know how though ?

Any ideas or suggestions on starting and shutting down orion instances and
loadbalancer on same
physical host ?

Thanks

Re: Cluster configuration

2001-07-09 Thread Gurinder Randhawa




I have managed to setup a cluster-island with a loadbalancer. I have a
web-app that is shared.
I am running Apache in front of Orion. I can start everything fine except
for 2nd instance of orion in
cluster i get the error:

Error starting JMS-Server: Unable to bind socket: Address already in use
Error starting RMI-Server: IO Error: Address already in use
Warning: Error reading transaction-log file
(/oracle/app/oracle/product/oas9i/Apache/j2ee_2/home/persistence/transactio
n.state) for recovery: premature end of file

Where can i change the ports for these or how would i resolve this ? Also i
 have apache running on port 80 and
i would like to run loadbalancer on another port. Would i specify this port
 in the loadbalancer.xml file or
at startup command line for loadbalancer ? Is it recommended to run
loadbalancer on port 80 ?

Cheers

Another question in regards to Apache running in front of the load
balancer. How does apache send
requests via mod_proxy (ProxyPass...) to loadbalancer ? Is there any xtra
config required or do you just
specify loadbalancer port in httpd.conf file ?

Gurinder,

The clusters are setup just to lighten the multi-cast traffic. That is, if
every server was sharing its http sessions with every other server, you can
see how the power of e and factorial  are related. (sigma (1/n!)) == e. So
instead of the traffic being proporational e^s, where s is the number of
sessions, the traffic is proportional to s*n!, where n is the number of
servers in a cluster. If a cluster has three servers, this seems to be a
good comprimise between redundancy and multi-cast traffic.

The loadbalancing bit randomly picks servers ... not clusters. So if one
server goes down or is removed, another server in its same cluster takes
over. This is the fail-over policy.

regards,

the elephantwalker

One other question i had was...when you setup a "cluster-island"
do you install 2 seperate orion instances with same cluster id in
web-site.xml ?

We are setting up 2 cluster-islands witha load balancer running behind
apache
on same host (one physical sun box) for one web-application. So to add to
my question above
for 2 cluster-islands do we need to run 4 instances of orion or just 2 ?
The documentation wasn't
clear to me on this

I have it working for a single instance of orion but need to do clustering
for scalability and
fault tolerance issues.  How does this perform ?
