Cluster with Two Servers

This article requires cleanup and may refer to a legacy version of Resin. Please visit http://www.caucho.com/documentation/ for the most up-to-date documentation.

This is a basic Resin configuration with two servers in a single cluster. Since this configuration does not have a load balance tier, it needs a load balancer (Resin, Apache or hardware) to work properly.

• The two servers act as backups for each other for clustering purposes, because they form

the first two clusters of a triad. The two servers check each others heartbeats, record statistics and save each others statistics and error logs.

• Each server listens to HTTP port 8080 and serves web-apps from the webapps directory.

The root web-app would be in webapps/ROOT, for example. Standard servlet behavior and jsp and php support is enabled with the <resin:import> of app-default.xml.

• JDK logging goes to stdout, which goes to jvm-a.log and jvm-b.log as managed by

the watchdog.

• Proxy caching is enabled to improve performance.

• The /resin-admin is enabled. Passwords belong in ${resin.home}/conf/admin-users.xml
