When I start trafficserver from the script, the actual program starts with some commandline arguments. A freshly-installed trafficserver shows something like:
/usr/bin/traffic_server -M -A,7:X Trying to enable clustering using the exact instructions in TFM at http://trafficserver.apache.org/docs/trunk/admin/cluster-howto/index.en.html leads to traffic_line telling me it's failed. On investigation, that's because all trafficserver processes have exited, including traffic_cop and traffic_manager. And they've exited silently, leaving no trace in the logs. This behaviour appears common to my own builds of 3.0 and 3.1, and to the packaged version installed with yum on Amazon/ec2 servers, which are someone else's build. I am able to restart trafficserver after this, but now the commandline is: /usr/bin/traffic_server -M -A,10:X At this point I went hunting for any documentation of those commandline arguments, but I haven't found it. Any suggestions for where to look? -- Nick Kew
