Mailing List Archive: [mod_backhand-users] Basic Configuration

Hello!

We're configurating a basic cluster with mod_backhand. We've two PC in a
local network. The first PC has 172.26.0.2 and the second PC has
172.26.0.3. The brodcast IP is 172.26.0.255 and the mask for this
network is 255.255.255.0.

The configuration in http.conf is in the two PC's:

MulticastStats 172.26.0.255:445,1
AcceptStats 172.26.0.0/24

The problem is that in http://172.26.0.2/bakchand/ we can see the two
Nodes but they can't redirect anything. They have diferents ARRIBA and
the #ready servers/#total servers in thw two PC are always 0/0. We
don't understand why this happening and what means #ready
servers/#total servers. We're doing anything incorrect? If someone can
help us.. we'll be very grateful.

445? or 4445? 445 is a reserved port. That may cause problems, but I
haven't tried it.

That #/# being 0/0 is documented in the FAQ available on the web site.
As for not being able to redirect anything, I don't know. You didn't
give enough information to track this down. If you are sure it should
be redirecting (proxying) and don't think it is, turn on debugging in
the decision stage:
