Context: I have a working web2py website that does some internal data visualization for my job, where employees can upload files and visualize different metrics. My boss would like me to take a functional windows server cluster with two active nodes, and have the web2py webapp running on both nodes. Once the data gets uploaded, it doesn't get changed, just visualized. The windows cluster nodes have a shared volume with the web2py code and the databases it creates shared between them.
Goal: In the event one node goes down there is already another instance of the web2py data visualization webapp running on the other node, and the only failover that has to happen is that the cluster url redirects users to the 2nd nodes web2py instance. Is this, or something similar, possible? I've tried running the webapps on the same port only to get errors, and can run the webapp on different ports, but wonder if there might be any issues with two instances accessing the same database? -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
