Hi Gurumoorthy, Excellent! Thank you very much. That was indeed the issue. The config for app104 had been copied from the config for app101. Hence the jvmroute on app104 was set to to app101. This obviously confuses the heck out of mod_jk as you'd expect.
Fixing this corrected the session issue and the load balancing issue. Thanks again for the quick response, Rob On 18/06/07, Raghupathy, Gurumoorthy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Have you put the correct "jvmroute" value in the worker and engine ? ________________________________ From: Rob Kirkbride [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 18 June 2007 09:53 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Further Issues with mod_jk when using 4 app servers Hi, There definitely seems to be an issue with 4 app servers. Initially I thought the problem was one of load balancing. I have definitely confirmed that the load balancing fails with 4 app servers (this is covered in a separate email thread) However, this morning we've been getting a lot of complaints about session timeouts since the 4th app server went in. I wonder if the sticky session attribute is getting lost following the introduction of the 4th app server. This is across 2 independent sites - so I know the problem isn't isolated to one bit of hardware or syntax error. When I remove the 4th app server - everything is fine again. I have attached my workers properties. I am using mod_jk 1.2.23 but also tried 1.2.22 as well. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who is successfully using 4 app servers. Thanks for any help - I'm not sure where to go at the moment - our test environment doesn't have 4 app servers in it!! Rob
