[users@httpd] Apache + Tomcat Load Balancing
Hi,
We have requirement for to load balance our PHP + JSP application. I need to
know that how can I load balance 2 Apache web Servers and 2 Tomcat Servers,
1st Web Server + Tomcat on 1st machine and 2nd Web Server + Tomcat on 2nd
machine. We want to use Proxy Load Balancer for Apache to tomcat
communication.
If we use single Apache Web Server and 2 tomcat instances on different
machines, it seems to be working and sharing session fine, but when we add
2nd apache web server to have fail over for PHP too, tomcat stops
replicating session? If anyone is running such type of setup then kindly do
let me know what could be the issues or anything missing. I am using Apache
WebServer as a load balancer for both Apache too.

Re: [users@httpd] Apache + Tomcat Load Balancing
Posted by Igor Cicimov <ic...@gmail.com>.
Ok lets summarize, you have one apache load balancing the two backend
apaches which are load balancing the two backend tomcat servers. I
personally can't see any fault in this line up or your apache proxy
configuration and no reason really why would tomcat cluster session
replication stop working . Maybe has to do something with the first apache?
How is that one configured? Although the worker/tomcat name will always be
in the client cookie and doesn't really matter which one of the two apaches
will handle the request. Assuming they both have identical proxy balancer
configuration...have you checked that?
Also did you enabled the extra logging as per the link I sent? That should
help you in the troubleshooting, without knowing what exactly is in the
requests you can't do much can you? Also didn't answer if there are any
errors in the apache logs?

session replication. Are the tomcats clustered? If not how do they replicate

In meantime check mod_proxy_balancer documentation as possible solution. You
can find lots of examples with sticky sessions configuration fot this module
for tomcat backends.

Hi,
I would recommend HAProxy as a load balancer in your PHP + JSP application
environment. It will work as follows:
1. First HAProxy will accept client request.
2. It will forward those requests to two machines via round robin
3. Each WebServer must use mod_jk as a connector (module) for Apache/Tomcat
communication and session persistence.
4. HAproxy also perform health checking for two servers.

I would recommend HAProxy as a load balancer in your PHP + JSP application

1. First HAProxy will accept client request.
2. It will forward those requests to two machines via round robin
3. Each WebServer must use mod_jk as a connector (module) for Apache/Tomcat

4. HAproxy also perform health checking for two servers.

RE: [users@httpd] Apache + Tomcat Load Balancing
Posted by Kashif Rahman <ka...@vopium.com>.
Hi,
I am using mod_proxy_balancer, because in that case I would be able to
handle load balancing or failover. I followed this URL:
http://www.johnandcailin.com/blog/john/scaling-drupal-step-two-sticky-load-b
alancing-apache-modproxy
for php. I have placed PHP sessions on mounted location and it is working
fine. Also both Apache(WEB1, WEB2) servers again using mod_proxy_balancer to
load balance tomcat instances. If we enable WEB2 then tomcat loses sessions.
Thank you,
Best Regards,

Dear Kashif, as per your comments below:
We are using mod_proxy_ajp
Tomcat is clustered. Session replication works, if single Apache is handling
2 tomcat instances. When we start second Apache, tomcat session replication
stops. We want to have failover for PHP side too.
Why are you using mod_proxy_ajp module. You should use mod_proxy_balancer.
For PHP load balancing and session stickiness it can easily be implemented
using cookie based approach.
And one more interesting thing is that you should use less request counting
method to handle Load Balancing efficiently.
Please follow the documentation carefully. You can achieve your goal instead
of HAproxy solution.
Thanks,
Anam

First check Apache supports session stickness in PHP application

Your non-complex solution involves replacing the load balancing httpd server
with a load balancing HAProxy server.
I fail to see how that decreases complexity. You have to learn how to
configure two things, instead of one thing twice.
HAProxy also cannot serve static files, whilst a load balancing httpd can.

Dear Kashif, as per your comments below:
We are using mod_proxy_ajp
Tomcat is clustered. Session replication works, if single Apache is handling 2 tomcat instances. When we start second Apache, tomcat session
replication stops. We want to have failover for PHP side too.
Why are you using mod_proxy_ajp module. You should use mod_proxy_balancer. For PHP load balancing and session stickiness it can easily be implemented using cookie based approach.
And one more interesting thing is that you should use less request counting method to handle Load Balancing efficiently.
Please follow the documentation carefully. You can achieve your goal instead of HAproxy solution.
Thanks,
Anam

First check Apache supports session stickness in PHP application environment, if yes then you can go with your current configuration instead of HAproxy.

Your non-complex solution involves replacing the load balancing httpd server with a load balancing HAProxy server.
I fail to see how that decreases complexity. You have to learn how to configure two things, instead of one thing twice.
HAProxy also cannot serve static files, whilst a load balancing httpd can.

Hi,
I would recommend HAProxy as a load balancer in your PHP + JSP application environment. It will work as follows:
1. First HAProxy will accept client request.
2. It will forward those requests to two machines via round robin
3. Each WebServer must use mod_jk as a connector (module) for Apache/Tomcat communication and session persistence.
4. HAproxy also perform health checking for two servers.

Hi,
I would recommend HAProxy as a load balancer in your PHP + JSP application environment. It will work as follows:
1. First HAProxy will accept client request.
2. It will forward those requests to two machines via round robin
3. Each WebServer must use mod_jkas a connector (module) for Apache/Tomcat communication and session persistence.
4. HAproxy also perform health checking for two servers.

Subject: [users@httpd] Apache + Tomcat Load Balancing
Hi,
We have requirement for to load balance our PHP + JSP application. I need to know that how can I load balance 2 Apache web Servers and 2 Tomcat Servers, 1st Web Server + Tomcat on 1st machine and 2nd Web Server + Tomcat on 2nd machine. We want to use Proxy Load Balancer for Apache to tomcat communication.
If we use single Apache Web Server and 2 tomcat instances on different machines, it seems to be working and sharing session fine, but when we add 2nd apache web server to have fail over for PHP too, tomcat stops replicating session? If anyone is running such type of setup then kindly do let me know what could be the issues or anything missing. I am using Apache WebServer as a load balancer for both Apache too.
