For debuging you can adjust the log level

Code: [Select]

LogLevel warn proxy:debug

or

proxy:trace5

Be aware that both settings will flood your log files a lot!

The KeepAlive is set by default between Apache and the backend server, since it uses HTTP/1.1

You can disable KeepAlive with

Code: [Select]

SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1
e.g.

Code: [Select]

<Location "/">
  ProxyPass "http:/appserver:8080/"
  SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1
  SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1
</Location>

Hello from Canada!

I'm looking for some assistance. We're running Apache 2.4.46 (httpd-2.4.46-o111g-x64-vc15) on Windows Server 2012R2 as a reverse proxy load balancer.

Sometimes, the balancer workers report a busyness count greater than 0 (usually 1) on the balancer-manager status page, even though not seemingly serving any request. As a result, the requests are unevenly distributed between the 2 workers.

Restarting Apache clears the count, and it also clears itself after a while. What could cause this? KeepAlive?

I tried to debug the process, but the instructions for Windows seems to be outdated: http://httpd.apache.org/dev/debugging.html#backtrace-win
I can't find the *-symbols.zip download.

Is there instructions to build and debug Apache on Windows? What could I do to troubleshoot this further?

Thank you,
Max

Our environment:
    - OS: Windows Server 2012 R2 (x64)
    - Server Version: Apache/2.4.46 (Win64) OpenSSL/1.1.1g mod_h264_streaming/2.2.7
    - Server MPM: WinNT
    - Server Built: Aug 1 2020 13:21:32
    - Distributed by: The Apache Haus
    - Compiled with: Visual Studio 2017

Our configuration:
    - Single process (winnt mpm)
    - ThreadsPerChild 15000
    - Virtual host with proxy_balancer (HTTP/1.1 TLS 1.2)
    - 2 balancer workers (https to the 2 application servers)
        - lbmethod=bybusyness
        - stickysession=JSESSIONID

You can block some stuff

Code: [Select]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|TRACK|PUT|DELETE|FLURP|HEAD)
RewriteRule .* - [R=405,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT}  ^.*python-requests.*$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT}  ^.*opensiteexplorer.*$
RewriteRule . - [R=403,L]

RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]


Thank you for the build!

Wishing you a wonderful day !

You can get your copy of the new Apache HTTP Server from our download page.

Change Log for Apache 2.4.46 includes 2.4.44 & 2.4.45 updates which were not released.

As Mario said you should avoid.

Yes, be careful, the installer is not an Apache product, and that is not allowed by the Policy from the ASF.

 The feather graphics are trademarks of the ASF, and must not be used without appropriate attribution and permission from the ASF. Please see our formal Trademark Policy for more details. In particular, as a vendor-neutral public charity that provides independent governance to all Apache projects, you must use care when displaying the feather, and ensure it's clear that it's referring to the ASF as an independent organization.

https://apache.org/foundation/press/kit/
http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/

I usually default the icon to the main executable. Is there a specific reason that using the main executable icon is not a good idea?

The alternative I have at hand would be the default installer Icon that you see with pretty much every installer.

That is a great tool. You only should avoid using the feather icon from ASF.
