load balancer

We got it working with the apache2 that comes along with the Solaris 10 installation - version 2.0.52

- Did you try the appserver installer to install lb plugin? Did it work for you?

Please ensure that the following changes have been made (if not already done manually or by the installer):

(Replace <appserver_install> appropriately)

1. cp <appserver_install>/lib/webserver-plugin/solaris/apache2/mod_loadbalancer .so /usr/apache2/libexec/

2. mkdir /usr/apache2/modules; mkdir /usr/apache2/modules/errorpages; mkdir /usr/apache2/modules/resource.

3. cp <appserver_install>/lib/webserver-plugin/solaris/apache2/LBPlugin* /usr/apache2/modules/resource.

4. cp lib/webserver-plugin/solaris/iws/errorpages/* /usr/apache2/modules/errorpages.

5. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/mps:<appserver_install>/lib/libxerces-c.so:$LD_L IBRARY_PATH

6. Ensure that following changes have been made to the httpd-std.conf file:

- Change line "PidFile /var/run/apache2/httpd.pid" to "PidFile /var/apache2/httpd.pid"

- Uncomment line "#LockFile /var/apache2/logs/accept.lock"

- Change line "Group #-1" to "Group nogroup"

- Add following lines to the end of the file (replacing MACHINE_IP and MACHINE_NAME appropriately):

##Addition for EE lb-plugin

7. mkdir /usr/apache2/sec_db_files; cp <appserver_install>/domains/<some_domain>/config/*.db /usr/apache2/sec_db_files;

8. Copy sun_loadbalancer_1_1.dtd to the "config-file" location mentioned in step 6. Copy it from <appserver_install>/lib/dtds/sun-loadbalancer_1_1.dtd

9. Create loadbalancer.xml at the "config-file" location mentioned in step 6.

10. Ensure that read permissions exist for loadbalancer.xml and sun_loadbalancer_1_1.dtd

Please let us know if this worked for you.
