Chapter 4. Configuration example for load-balancing with mod_proxy_cluster

Procedure

1. Go to the JBCS_HOME/httpd/conf.d/ directory.
2. Create a file named mod_proxy_cluster.conf.

3. Enter the following configuration details:

   LoadModule proxy_cluster_module modules/mod_proxy_cluster.so
   LoadModule cluster_slotmem_module modules/mod_cluster_slotmem.so
   LoadModule manager_module modules/mod_manager.so
   LoadModule advertise_module modules/mod_advertise.so
   
   MemManagerFile cache/mod_proxy_cluster
   
   <IfModule manager_module>
     Listen 6666
     <VirtualHost *:6666>
       <Directory />
         Require ip 127.0.0.1
       </Directory>
       ServerAdvertise on
       EnableMCPMReceive
       <Location /mod_cluster_manager>
         SetHandler mod_cluster-manager
         Require ip 127.0.0.1
      </Location>
     </VirtualHost>
   </IfModule>

   Important

   As shown in the preceding example, the mod_proxy_cluster package requires that you set the MemManagerFile directive in the conf.d file to cache/mod_proxy_cluster.

   Note

   The preceding example shows how to set up JBCS as a proxy server that is listening on localhost.

Procedure

1. Open the JWS_HOME/tomcat<VERSION>/conf/server.xml file.

2. Add the following Listener element:

   <Listener className="org.jboss.modcluster.container.catalina.standalone.ModClusterListener" advertise="true"/>
