Re: HA replication of /www directory

Gave that a try.
Listen 10.17.6.33:80
Listen 10.10.1.195:80
Never seems to come fully up. Here's the detail:
- Changed DNS to point mainserver(10.17.6.33) to address of
backupserver(10.10.1.195)
- ping mainserver to verify
Try to go to http://mainserver/mgr and it never comes up
On backupserver I look at netstat and there's only one listener on port
80.

Normally, when we have an http server running there are multiples of that
job in the qhttpsvr subsystem.
Looking at the above joblog I see:

So listening on two addresses with the hope of replicating data between
the two doesn't work.

So, leaving replication off, I changed the configuration to only have one
listen line.
On backupserver it listens on
Listen 10.10.1.195:80
On mainserver it listens on
Listen 10.17.6.33:80
I did an
endTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(KRONOS)
strTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(KRONOS)
However, when 10.17.6.33 is down, and the dns points mainserver to
10.10.1.195, I cannot connect using http://mainserver/mgr
This isn't some weird thing where the name in the url (mainserver) has to
match cfgtcp-12, is it? I know of some items that are picky in that way.

Use multiple Listen directives:

How do you tell it both addresses?

Why not just listen on both IP addresses on both systems? It shouldn't
matter since only one or the other interface would be up the machine.

I would think you'd want the replication in case any changes are made to
the
web site. Here, we dynamically add & remove objects all the time (we
serve
reports via web interface) but due to locking issues we can't leave the
MIMIX data group active. So we just turn the data group on at night &

let

it catch up when few or no users are online.

Currently I noticed that we are replicating our /www and all

the

the

/WWW/servername/conf/httpd.conf directory may have a line like
listen xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80
on one system and
listen yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:80
on the backup system and replicating it clobbers the change.

Can y'all see any reason to replicate the /www directory? I thought

of

backup reasons as we only back up from the backup machine (other than

the

once every other month save of the primary). I guess if backups are

that

critical we can set up our HA software to replicate to another

directory

like /backup/www.
