Hello, I'm running Fedora Core 5, httpd-2.2.2-1.2 (worker MPM), Tomcat 5.5.17, Java jdk1.5.0_07. I have about 40 connections/apps from Apache to Tomcat like so:
ProxyPass /foo ajp://localhost:8009/foo/ I am getting a fair amount of 503 errors. Logs look like this: Tomcat catalina.out Mar 29, 2009 1:35:23 PM org.apache.jk.core.MsgContext action WARNING: Error sending end packet java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe Apache ssl_access xxx.xxx.xxx.102 - - [29/Mar/2009:13:35:18 -0400] "POST /foo/bar HTTP/1.1" 503 40920 Apache ssl_error [Sun Mar 29 13:35:22 2009] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.102] proxy: error processing body, referer: https://foo.bar.com/foo/bar [Sun Mar 29 13:35:22 2009] [error] proxy: got bad response (5) from 127.0.0.1:8009 (localhost) The times are not exact matches but the pattern is consistent. I don't know if this is a Tomcat problem or Apache/mod_proxy. Can anyone give me some guidance here? Googling the log entries does't amount to much. The feedback on "java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe" seems to be that it's harmless, but it does coincide with Apache errors and ultimately 503, so I don't think it's a simple case of the user hitting the "stop" button. Is there a perferred alternative to connecting Apache and Tomcat? Or is mod_proxy the best? Thanks for the help. -- Daryl Stultz _____________________________________ 6 Degrees Software and Consulting, Inc. http://www.6degrees.com mailto:da...@6degrees.com
