[EMAIL PROTECTED] Loadbalancing/stickysession/Source_IP

2008-03-29 Thread Yavor Trapkov
Hello,

I'm using mod_proxy balancer, and I need to redirect all requests coming
from a user to the same backend server.
Our application does not setup cookies and in this sense does not rely on
sessions in order to work with requests sent from webclients that reject
cookies.
I set up my own session variable which I use for stickysession=SrvID, and
roite=srv1,2,.. it seems to work, but I still need to cover cases if/when
the webclient
does not use cookies.
My question is, how can I configure mod_proxy balancer to also use the
source IP address to stick to a particular backend server, without using
cookies.

Many thanks

All I can say is that if I use [R=301,L], the rewrite
works perfectly.

If I use [P,L], the forwarding does not work: 2 frames
are indeed displayed but the pages are not. These 2
pages are jsp and they are not displayed because they
are fetched in apache while they should be fetched
from the tomcat webapps. Is this what you meant by
"broken links"?

Can you please also clarify what you want me to check?

thanks a lot.

Is it looking for htaccess?

Probably better to keep your rewriterules outside of htaccess or .

I'll try to be more explicit.

Say that http://backend/ has a page called index.html. In that page,
there is an embedded frame that is referenced as /frame1.html. When
you do a redirect, the browser makes a request for
http://backend/index.html and sees the frame link and requests it as
http://backend/frame1.html.

If you do a proxy, the client requests http://proxy/backend/index.html
and the proxy then requests http://backend/index.html. What it send
back to the client still references /frame1.html, and the client
resolves that relative to the URL that IT requested. Therefore it
sends a new request for http://proxy/frame1.html. Obviously this URL
doesn't exist (it should be http://proxy/backend/frame1.html) and
therefore the frameset doesn't display properly.

If this is indeed the problem (and you verify that simply by looking
at the content that is sent back and understanding how the browser
resolves relative references), then it can be fixed with proper
configuration of mod_proxy_html as explained in that article.

RewriteRules need to be in the proper virtual host, AllowOverride none
prevents apache from looking for .htaccess files

When you pull your rules out of Directory/htaccess,  the URL you're
testing against changes (the per-directory component hasn't been
stripped out -- now it always starts with a slash)

I don't know, but why are you building 2.0.50? If that is a CentOS

I'm not sure what you mean by "long term fixes". There are various
sites out there that have lists of nasty robots. There are also ways
to hide addresses on your site from robots using images/captchas/etc
(although I don't really recommend that).

That path indicates that configure was run on one of the developers'
own machine.  Yours is no doubt different.  Whatever you have,
you're in the wrong time (2008) and place (anywhere other than
minfrin's workstation) to build it.

Where the  did you get that from?

So AllowOverride none does not effect DirectoryIndex?

Ok, so I need to add the leading slash.  The first two rules are to
rewrite the URL for my Apache C Module which I currently have handling
a location.  something is going wrong because I do see in the rewrite
rule log that it is getting rewritten, but the Apache C Module isn't
getting the handler anymore.  Here is what I have right now, not
scoped in anything else:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/images/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ /theImage?fldoid=$1&imgoid=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^/images/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$
/theImage?fldoid=$1&imgoid=$2&tn=$3 [L]

My linux system hostname is:  myhost.mydomain.com

Please explain this: 
If I use default DocumentRoot /var/www/html for

VirtualHost with DocumentRoot /var/www/virtual for #2,
I no longer see the index.html file from 
DocumentRoot of #1 


Question #1 does not asked to use the Virtual host. 
Can I just use the default DocumentRoot to config the

have to use the Virtual host ?

I think you need to read this:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html#using
which tells you that you need a  section for every host
once you start to use NameVirtualHost. The DocumentRoot in the "main
server" no longer has an effect.

I have visited a few lists that help make up my current spam bot deny list.

Can anyone reccomend a list thats reliably well written and 
up -to-date/updated frequently?

Hi all,

I am being hit with a number of spam bots (email address harvesters) and
have implimeted some deny referrers ruls as a short term fix.

Does anyone know of any permanent long term fixes?


I'm not sure what you mean by "long term fixes". There are various
sites out there that have lists of nasty robots. There are also ways
to hide addresses on your site from robots using images/captchas/etc
(although I don't really recommend that).
