Mailing List Archive: [mod_backhand-users] Backhand works great in my test environment, but......

I have sucessfully tested backhand with my new webserver running on port 80
(www2)and my current production server running on port 8080, with another
instance of apache serving up pages on port 80. This setup works great and
I have thrown a pretty decent sized ab load at it for good measure.
The problem is, when I stop the instance of apache that is running on port
80 (my current production server) and switch the backhand enabled instance
( the one that was running on 8080) of apache over to port 80, it comes to a
grinding halt. It BARELY serves pages and when I can get through to check
the server stats page on either of the two servers, they are both "in the
red". As soon as I stop this instance of apache, the new webserver (www2)
is back "in the grey", and when I switch it back to port 8080 they work
again.

Does anyone know why this is happening or what might cause this
behavior?????

I really don't understand what you did. Do I have this right:

You have production web site on port 80.
You set up mod_backhand to test on port 8080.
It tested fine.
So, you stop the production site and start the new mod_backhand enabled site
on 8080.
Things fall apart...

Is that it? What type of Apache servers? (i.e. mod_perl, mod_php, mod_ssl?)
Is there any output of use in the error_log. If not, try turning on the
logging:

BackhandLogLevel +net1,+net2,+net3,+dcsn1,+mbcs1

This would help in diagnosing the problem.
