I am using haproxy to load balance in front of some Oracle application servers, it is working fine, however we have built some new app servers and cannot get them to work with haproxy.
The config is a copy/paste of a config that is working for existing servers, just with new IP addresses and port numbers for the new backend servers.
When I test using lynx or curl from the haproxy server I can retrieve the test page, but haproxy is reporting a L7TOUT on the stats page and giving a 503 service unavailable error in the browser.
The config is as follows:
listen Load-Balancer-balancernew
bind *:5051
mode http
balance roundrobin
stats enable
stats hide-version
stats auth statuser:statpassword
stats uri /stats
stats refresh 20s
stats show-node
stats admin if TRUE
cookie SERVERIDbalancernew insert indirect #inserts cookie for session persistence
option httpclose
option forwardfor
option httpchk GET /forms/frmservlet?config=balancernew #checks html file
http-check expect status 200 #expects status 200 if anything else reports server as down
http-check disable-on-404
server sh1app1_5051 192.168.1.60:5051 cookie sh1app1_5051 check
server sh1app2_5051 192.168.1.70:5051 cookie sh1app2_5051 check
option redispatch #dispatches request to other server if one server down
And when I retrieve the url http://192.168.1.60:5051/forms/frmservlet?config=balancernew or http://192.168.1.70:5051/forms/frmservlet?config=balancernew in curl or lynx the page is displayed.
Any suggestions as to how I might troubleshoot would be greatly appreciated, I’ve reached the limits of my haproxy skills.
