Topic: ProxyPass Timeout

[szhark]

Hello,

I'm running Apache/2.2.3 on Centos 5, with proxy pass to tomcat via AJP. We're running into a situation where a request comes in, and due to database performance, the request takes a long time. For some reason, any more requests to that specific tomcat server just pile up behind it and wait. How can I tell mod_proxy to open up a new connection, or use another server in the cluster when a request takes a long time?

example config:
ProxyPass / balancer://mycluster nofailover=On maxattempts=3 lbmethod=byrequests

<Proxy balancer://mycluster>
BalancerMember ajp://10.30.99.62:8009 loadfactor=10 max=500
BalancerMember ajp://10.30.99.63:8009 loadfactor=10 max=500
BalancerMember ajp://10.30.99.64:8009 loadfactor=10 max=500
BalancerMember ajp://10.30.99.65:8009 loadfactor=10 max=500
</Proxy>

Any help is appreciated.

You can use connectiontimeout=5 and timeout=30

see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy.html and search for BalancerMember parameters
