Pacemaker with Apache

SUSE Linux Enterprise Extensions SLES High Availability Extension

Hi all,
I’ve two node with pacemaker and I should add to an existing configuration the apache active/standby check.
Apache is used in jboss, so I haven’t the standard bin path.

I’ve add editing crm configuration (by “crm configure edit” command) following lines:
primitive apache ocf:heartbeat:apache \
params configfile="/opt/jboss/httpd/httpd/conf/httpd.conf" \
params httpd="/opt/jboss/httpd/sbin" \
op start interval=“0” timeout=“40” \
op stop interval=“0” timeout=“60” \
op monitor interval=“120s” timeout=“60s”

But I’ve the resource failed:

I’m newbby on pacemaker, so I’m not sure about the configuration and the way to edit it.
Can you help me?

Thanks,

Hi Ste,

I recommend to create an rc-style start/stop script to use within Pacemaker. Maybe there already is a single command you can use to start/stop this specific Apache from the command line?

If you want to proceed your approach (which ought to work, too) - what happens when you try to start Apache manually via that resource script? The first line of your syslog hints at a failure starting the daemon, maybe some additional parameters are needed, maybe specific libs need to be available (proper LD_LIBRARY_PATH), etc.?

Regards,
Jens

Thanks Jens,
I was focus on a wrong way :slight_smile:
The resource is not apache, but just a jboss module, so I change configuration, I deleted the ocf:apache and add following:
primitive res_web_ha ocf:heartbeat:anything \
params binfile="/opt/jboss/httpd/sbin/apachectl" cmdline_options=“start” \
operations $id=“res_web_ha-operations” \
op start interval=“0” timeout=“20” \
op stop interval=“0” timeout=“20” \
op monitor interval=“10” timeout=“20” start-delay=“0”

It seems “active”:
res_web_ha (ocf::heartbeat:anything): Started totestprend1

but now I’ve following error in messages:
lrmd[13342]: notice: operation_finished: res_web_ha_monitor_10000:43055 [ /usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/heartbeat/anything: line 60: kill: (32314) - No such process ]

Really I’m not sure how to manage the resource.
I’ve to add rules for active/standby failover, should I use the same ocf:anything, or should I add ocf:IPaddr2 ?

Thanks again,
Ste

I check monitor option doesn’t work properly in my case, I think I should use monitor_hook option, but I can’t find any documentation on how to use it. Can you help me with any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi Ste,

I think I should use monitor_hook option, but I can’t find any documentation on how to use it. Can you help me with any suggestions?

check the resource agent script to see what it’s doing on the “monitor” action…

Jens
