Apache Module mod_proxy_balancer

  • 772

I'm new in apache balancing stuff.

I'm reading the docs in link text

<Proxy balancer://mycluster >
    BalancerMember http://192.168.1.50:80
    BalancerMember http://192.168.1.51:80
</Proxy>

ProxyPass /test balancer://mycluster/
  1. to start where do I put the above configuration (I mean, in wich file, vhost? httpd.conf?):
  2. How do make it work?

Thanks,
Pedro

    you put it in your vhost configuration. as below:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
  <Proxy balancer://lb>
     BalancerMember http://10.14.10.250 timeout=10s 
     BalancerMember http://10.14.10.251 timeout=10s 
  </Proxy>
  ProxyPass /lb/ balancer://lb

  <Proxy balancer://fo>
     BalancerMember http://10.14.10.250 timeout=10s 
     BalancerMember http://10.14.10.251 timeout=10s status=+H
  </Proxy>
  ProxyPass /fo/ balancer://fo
</VirtualHost>

    first one is for 50-50 load balancer, second one - one dedicated master [ preferred server ], another - hot standby to which requests are sent only when master is down.
