Dear Nimamhd,

How did you managed this? Do you also have one external IP? Forwarding based on host-header in case of port 80 and 443? Did you managed the '/haproxy?stats' part?

I really hope you can help me out though.

@canefield:

…Forwarding based on host-header in case of port 443....

I think haproxy can balance only 443 connections without checking host header.

It will work fine on server pools that has the same config.

I`ll try to speed up apache2 devel package to help you. some features will be left out as I need changes on ports.

Change it to source instead of round-robin

Hello Dear marcelloc

It works when use Source instead of round robin.
but why the cookies dose not insert to client?

I was googleing and found " http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-34573.html "

They have my problem, how can i add " cookie JSESSIONID insert " in to the HAproxy Config File?

Thanx.

Hi Canefield

I have one External IP and Forwarding port 80 , /haproxy?stats works fine .
i had a problem when i use " NAT Port Forwarding " at the same time with same External Ip address. i disabled the Port Fw, and "/haproxy?stats" gone ok.

Did you configure cookie on servers tab?

Yes , i configure it .

nimamhd · Sep 14, 2012, 1:13 PM

Finally the problem was solved . i add " cookie XXXX insert indirect nocache " in to front end "Advanced pass thru" , it works perfectly .

server insert cookie to clients now.

Thanx A lot team.

So this field should be custom options instead of Advanced pass thru ?

Just another hint from haproxy mailing list.

If you want/need to detect offline servers, configure haproxy to use only one processor instead of detected cpus.

nimamhd · Sep 17, 2012, 6:07 AM

I was bewildered with " Advanced pass thru "`s name actually .

Thanks again marcelloc for your help
