Further testing showed this succeeded when the server was busy. The balancer marked the member's status as Err. However later after firing continuous requests, the backend ran out of memory, causing it to return a 500, and then the balancer marked it up again, sigh!
I'm considering writing a script to check the backend and disable the members via a curl call to the balancer-manager page, but that seems a bit crude. Is there anything else I can add to the configuration below which might handle a code 500? -----Original Message----- From: Edward Quick [mailto:edward.qu...@igindex.co.uk] Sent: 09 March 2010 22:08 To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: RE: [us...@httpd] RE: mod_proxy_balancer back end status check Thanks Phil, That worked a treat. <Proxy balancer://tomcat> BalancerMember ajp://localhost:8009 route=jvm001 redirect=jvm002 keepalive=On ping=1 BalancerMember ajp://localhost:8010 route=jvm002 keepalive=On status=-H ping=1 </Proxy> -----Original Message----- From: Philip Wigg [mailto:p...@philipwigg.co.uk] Sent: 09 March 2010 19:57 To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: Re: [us...@httpd] RE: mod_proxy_balancer back end status check On 9 March 2010 17:47, Edward Quick <edward.qu...@igindex.co.uk> wrote: > Here's my configuration.
