I apologize if this a silly question, but I can't figure it out! I've looked over the documentation and I'm stumped.
I have 5 load balanced workers defined. I have them setup and configured correctly. workers.properties file (partial - not including all the individual workers) --------------------------------------------------------------- worker.mygpgby02.type=ajp13 worker.mygpgby02.host=mygpgby02.mycompany.com worker.mygpgby02.port=8009 worker.loadbalancerprod.type=lb worker.loadbalancerprod.balance_workers=mygpgby02,mygpgby03,mygpgby04,mygpgby05,mygpgby06 worker.list=loadbalancerprod --------------------------------------------------------------- Now, here is the problem - one of those hosts(mygpgby06) is currently down for maintenence. Whenever I startup IIS, the ISAPI proxy won't work. The ISAPI log file shows this: (please note mycompany.com is not the actual url - i changed it) [Wed Apr 15 14:22:00.463 2009] [4208:2848] [error] jk_ajp_common.c (2526): worker mygpgby06 can't resolve tomcat address mygpgby06.mycompany.com [Wed Apr 15 14:22:00.463 2009] [4208:2848] [error] jk_worker.c (163): validate failed for mygpgby06 [Wed Apr 15 14:22:00.463 2009] [4208:2848] [error] jk_lb_worker.c (1599): Failed creating worker mygpgby06 [Wed Apr 15 14:22:00.479 2009] [4208:2848] [error] jk_lb_worker.c (1647): NULL parameters [Wed Apr 15 14:22:00.479 2009] [4208:2848] [error] jk_worker.c (163): validate failed for loadbalancerprod [Wed Apr 15 14:22:00.479 2009] [4208:2848] [error] jk_worker.c (262): failed to create worker loadbalancerprod [Wed Apr 15 14:22:00.479 2009] [4208:2848] [error] jk_uri_worker_map.c (506): Could not find worker with name 'loadbalancerprod' in uri map post processing. If I take this worker out of the balance_workers list, everything starts up fine. If I leave it in, my loadbalancerprod worker is completely dead.. According to the documentation, "When starting up, the web server plugin with instantiate the workers whose name appears in the worker.list property..". So - one worker in the load balancer won't start so the whole load balancer is considered a failed worker. Is there a property I'm missing to make this work ? Scott
