I got this message when trying to check “nginx on the LBR Server is not configured to use all app servers.”

How do I configure it.

**🌟 Task 16 - Configure LBR Server as Nginx Load Balancer for App Servers**

**📌 Task Description**

To handle increasing website traffic on **Nautilus infrastructure** in **Stratos Datacenter**, the production support team decided to deploy a **high availability stack**. The **LBR (load balancer)** server configuration is the last pending task.

**Requirements:**
a. Install **Nginx** on **LBR server** (stlb01)
b. Configure **load balancing** in the main Nginx configuration file `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf` using **all App Servers**
c. Do not alter the **Apache port** on app servers and ensure **Apache service** is running
d. Verify **website access** through the **StaticApp button**

👉 **Your task:** Set up Nginx load balancer to distribute traffic across all app servers for high availability.

💡 **Note:** You can find the infrastructure details by clicking on the **Details of all Users and Servers** button on the top-right section of the page.

Where are you running into trouble. The notes should tell you the details for the steps, although in general:

Check httpd on the 3 app servers to make sure they’re running, and to check what port they are running on.
You need to configure nginx on stlb01 to act as a loadbalancer; the notes give enough detail so you should be able to do that.
Check the loadbalancer on port 80 to make sure it’s hitting the app servers on the correct port.
