[users@httpd] configuring a balancer in httpd.conf

Hi,

I'm trying to get Apache to forward all it's requests to either one of two Tomcat processes.
I can get Apache to forward the requests to a single Tomcat using the following settings in httpd.conf:

###################
ProxyRequests Off

<Proxy *>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
</Proxy>

ProxyPass / http://erie:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://erie:8080/
###################


I attempted to get the load-balancing working by replacing the above with the following:

###################
ProxyRequests Off

ProxyPass / balancer://mycluster stickysession=jsessionid nofailover=On
ProxyPassReverse / balancer://mycluster

<Proxy balancer://mycluster>
        BalancerMember http://erie:8080
        BalancerMember http://titan192:8080

        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
</Proxy>
###################

But I get a "403 Forbidden" error indicating that I don't have permission to access the resource on the server.

Many thanks in advance,
Don

As always with 403 errors, look in your error log for an explaination.
If the message is along the lines of "Client denied by server
configuration", try adding in the <Proxy *> stanza from your first
example.
