Install and Configure Web Application steps are not clear, please help to understand

#1

@Inderpreet and KodeKloud Team,

I have task to set-up web application.

In one if the step, it is asked as below

c. There are two website’s backups /home/thor/media and /home/thor/official on jump_host. Setup them on Apache in a way that media should work on link http://<>/media/ and official should work on link http://<>/official.

But I am not sure on the <>, what should be the lb url.

Also when I set up the web application and follow the 4th step, i.e.

d. You can access the website on LBR link, to do so click on the + button on top of your terminal and select option Select port to view on Host 1 and after adding port 80 click on Display Port

I can only access only one of the static web-page.

How can I test or validate both the webpage??

Please Help!!!

Dont worry about load balancer.
I did it on the default apache virtual server for each app servers.
I tested with curl to http://localhost:8080/media or /official for each app servers. Or curl http://stapp0X:8080/ where X in [1,2,3] from jump_host.

Hello Ashok,

Good to hear that you have completed the task.

I am trying to complete the task but unable to validate the task.
Installed the httpd, added the listening port and 3 &4 steps are little confusing for me as i am quite new. Can you please help me to complete this task?
Thanks for your help.

Hello elsebasan,

I am not clear with the below question; how to setup them?

There are two website’s backups /home/thor/media and /home/thor/official on jump_host. Setup them on Apache in a way that media should work on link http://<>/media/ and official should work on link http://<>/official.

Can you please assist on this?

You must copy the directories from to .
What do you think can be the target? (host, path on OS)
And then ensure you that Apache serves this content.
I don’t remember if in this exercise exist a nfs filesystem.

Please Refer to this configuration.
In third step you will have to install httpd package and setup **Two virtual hosts similar to this mentioned configuration **.

!!! Hope this will help you :slight_smile:

*<VirtualHost :80>

ProxyRequests off #disable forward proxying

ServerName <>

<Proxy balancer://blog>

BalancerMember app1 ip:80

BalancerMember app2 ip:80

BalancerMember app3 ip:80

#security

Order Deny,Allow

Deny from none

Allow from all

#use round-robin balancing

ProxySet lbmethod=byrequests

#balance-manager is a tool that lets you configure and tune Apache

<Location /balancer-manager>

SetHandler balancer-manager

#lock this down tightly

Order deny,allow

Allow from all

#what to actually balance

#in this case, balance everything except the manager

ProxyPass /balancer-manager !

ProxyPass / balancer://cluster/

**Note: Dont’t Just copy and paste this configuration Because I deliberately done some mistakes for our learning purpose. t
