Help with IHS and WAS
|
|
|
| Hi All,
Looking for a little guidance on load-balancing as it pertains IBM Http server and Websphere Application Server.
Currently I have 3 machines with IHS and WAS loaded on each, serving the same application (Application_1) via IHS. So, to access Application_1, I have my choice of going to http://machine1:9001, http://machine2:9001, http://machine3:9001.
What I would like to do is pull the IHS server off of the 3 separate machines and have a single IBM Http Server. I think this is possible, by configuring the PLUGIN-XML.CFG to use a round-robin type scenario with each machine defined. However, I don't k
now how to configure the httpd.conf file in this scenario, specifically the virtual host aliases.
Is what I'm trying to do even feasible? Ultimately, all I'm looking at doing is having a single HTTP serve the same application from multiple WAS machines. Any tips or guidance to other resources/reading would be most helpful!
TIA - mocatdaze@hotmail.com

This is not so.
All you have to do is change your plugin-cfg.xml so that the "UriGroup" element has an "Uri" element like:
<Uri Name="/appContextRoot/*.jsp"/>
In this case all the request for a ".jsp" in your application will be routed to the Application Server.
All the rest (.jpg, .html, .js, etc...) will be ignored by the plugin an must be served by the HTTP server.
Of course you have to make sure the IHS can find those other files.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
RHL
