Dear All, I am trying to setup a High-Availability HTTP Load Balancer With HAProxy & Heartbeat using the below links. I have all RHEL 5.4 servers hosted on VMWare. http://www.howtoforge.com/high-availability-load-balancer-haproxy-heartbeat-fedora8 http://www.howtoforge.com/high-availability-load-balancer-haproxy-heartbeat-fedora8-p2 This is the scenario, as given in the links as wells as my setup. Shared IP: 192.168.0.120 Load Balancer 1 Hostname: lb1.example.com IP: 192.168.0.110 Load Balancer 2 Hostname: lb2.example.com IP: 192.168.0.111 Web Server 1 Hostname: http1.example.com IP: 192.168.0.112 Web Server 2 Hostname: http2.example.com IP: 192.168.0.113 I have followed all the steps mentioned in the links religiously except the 2.2 here, in which it is asking to configure the vhosts. I could not really understand :scratch:, what is to be placed in /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhosts.conf file and in which Web Server. Due to this step only, I think I am failing in Failover test given in Point 4.1 here. I am able to open the webpage by http://192.168.0.120/ which gives the content of Web Server 1 (http1.example.com). But, when I try to shutdown the http service (to check failover), it does not shows the contents of Web Server 2 (http2.example.com) Although, I am able to succeed in Failover Test 4.2, in which shared IP 192.168.0.120 switches when I try to start/stop the any of the Load Balancers. Waiting for your precious answers. Thanks in advance. ---------------------- Best Regards, Vikas
Hello People, I have solved it. I had mistakenly used 192.168.0.112 IP in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf of Web Server 2 (http2.example.com). I should have used 192.168.0.113.
