Clustering or LoadBalancer configuration with apache web server

install Apache HTTP Server2.2.11 web server.

Once the installation starts follow the steps as shown in following figures.

Configuration of Web server

          Configuration at Apache Http Server (Web Server)

Apache JK_MOD (Tomcat Connector).

In order to apache web server able to communicate with the Application, we need to configure Apache JK_MOD, for this purpose we need to enable the Apache module “mod_jk.so”.

Download the mod_jk_version_number.so rename it to mod_jk.so and place it under “ApacheInstallation”/modules

 

Edit apache web server configuration file “ApacheInstallation”/httpd.conf and add the below parameters:

# Include mod_jk configuration file

   Include conf/mod_jk.conf

Create a file under “ApacheInstallation”/httpd as mod_jk.conf and add the below properties into it

             

mod_jk.conf file

LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so

JkWorkersFile conf/workers.properties

JkLogFile logs/mod_jk.log

JkLogLevel debug

JkLogStampFormat  "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y]"

JkOptions +ForwardKeySize +ForwardURICompat -ForwardDirectories

JkRequestLogFormat "%w %V %T"

JkMount /custcare/* loadbalancer

JkShmFile logs/jk.shm

JkMount status

Order deny,allow

Deny from all

Allow from all

Create a worker.properties file under “ApacheInstallation”/httpd and add the following parameters

# Define list of workers that will be used

# for mapping requests

  worker.list=loadbalancer

# Define Node1

# modify the host as your host IP or DNS name.

  worker.node1.port=8009

  worker.node1.host=192.168.2.107

  worker.node1.type=ajp13

  worker.node1.lbfactor=1

# worker.node1.local_worker=1 (1)

# worker.node1.cachesize=10

# Define Node2

# modify the host as your host IP or DNS name.

  worker.node2.port=8009

  worker.node2.host=192.168.2.55

  worker.node2.type=ajp13

  worker.node2.lbfactor=1

# worker.node2.local_worker=1 (1)

# worker.node2.cachesize=10

# Load-balancing behavior

  worker.loadbalancer.type=lb

  worker.loadbalancer.balance_workers=node1,node2

  worker.loadbalancer.sticky_session=1

# worker.loadbalancer.local_worker_only=1

# worker.list=loadbalancer
