implementing NGINX loadbalancer
- by Alaa Alomari
I have two servers (ServerA 192.168.1.10, ServerB 192,168.1.11) and DNS of test.mysite.com is pointing to ServerA
#in serverA i have this
upstream lb_units {
server 192.168.1.10 weight=2 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s; # Reverse proxy to BES1
server 192.168.1.11 weight=2 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s; # Reverse proxy to BES2
}
server {
listen 80; # Listen on the external interface
server_name test.mysite.com; # The server name
root /var/www/test;
index index.php;
location / {
proxy_pass http://lb_units; # Load balance the URL location "/" to the upstream lb_units
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/test/$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
and ServerB is apache and it has the following
<VirtualHost *:80
RewriteEngine on
<Directory "/var/www/test"
AllowOverride all
</Directory
DocumentRoot "/var/www/test"
ServerName test.mysite.com
</VirtualHost
but whenever i try to browse test.mysite.com, it serves me from ServerA. also i tried to mark serverA and down server 192.168.1.10 down; in lb_units and still the same, serving me from serverA. any idea what i have done wrong??
