Ok, I know what’s going on but I can’t seem to be able to fix it.
What’s happening is that Apache is not forwarding requests for the
application to the balancer. And I can’t figure out why. Here’s my
Apache config (sorry if it’s too verbose):
<Proxy balancer://bugtracker>
BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:2600
BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:2601
BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:2602
BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:2603
BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:2604
ExtendedStatus On
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:9000>
ServerName bugtracker
DocumentRoot /var/www/bugtracker/current/public
<Location /server-status>

I took the config from here:
http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you
and modified the appropriate stuff.
Whenever I try something like “links http://localhost:9000”, I get
“Forbidden”. http://localhost:9000/server-status and
http://localhost:9000/balancer-manager don’t work either.
Oh, by the way, with AllowOverride None uncommented, none of the
directives in .htaccess under public were allowed – as expected I
think. I listened on ports 2600 through 2604 and nothing came in. So
that’s how I know for sure that the requests were not forwarded. The
reason why it works at all (even though in the development mode) is
because apache interprets dispatch.fcgi thanks to the DocumentRoot in
the config.
Any ideas?
