Preparing Apache Web Server as a Load Balancer
Prerequistes: Install Apache with the mod_proxy_ajp module to use the web server as a load balancer.
The Apache web server handles requests for static content contained in the web application, and delegates requests for dynamic pages (like JSP or Servlet) to webMethods OneData instances using reverse proxy.
*To prepare the Apache web server load balancer
1. Download Apache from http://www.apachelounge.com/download/win32/binaries/httpd-2.4.4-win32.zip.
2. Unzip the file to any location.
3. Move the Apache24 folder to your preferred location (example, Apache-http-server-home).
When you unzip the folder to another location, change the server root and document root directories in the httpd.conf file.
