  Problems getting loadbalancing working with ARR Reply Contact Hi, My first attempt to create a server farm hasnt went so well. Goal is to get a loadbalanced site with arr in two contentservers. First quick overview of my deployment ARR server (no sites, plain IIS7 + ARR) hosting 1 farm with name http://site.com IIS1 server (1 site, works - under binding http://site1.com, also has a  binding http://site.com) IIS2 server (1 site, works - under binding http://site2.com, also has a  binding http://site.com) URL rewrite rule is default one, created with the server farm address http://site.com is forwarded to ARR-s IP.   No traffic is reaching  the content servers, http://site.com shows "page cannot be displayed". when i do a health check on farm, the url http://site.com/test.htm gets "Pass" status from both contentservers, but  in monitoring and managment tab, both contentservers are in "unknown" state. What im doing wrong? Thanks, Kriks

You might also confirm that the health status for the content servers on the Monitoring and Management form is reporting Available and Healthy. Jim

  Re: Problems getting loadbalancing working with ARR Reply Contact  Hi, Health test is set up and verifying testurl gives "Pass" on both nodes. Monitoring and managment gives Availability and Health status "Unknown" on both nodes. Here are my rewrite rule and webfarm conf from applicationhost.config from server ARR  <rewrite>             <globalRules>                 <rule name="ARR_http://site.com_loadbalance" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">                     <match url="*" />                     <action type="Rewrite" url="http://site.com/{R:0}" />                 </rule>             </globalRules>         </rewrite> ----------------------     <webFarms>         <webFarm name="site.com" enabled="true">             <server address="IIS1" enabled="true">                 <applicationRequestRouting weight="100" />             </server>             <server address="IIS2" enabled="true">                 <applicationRequestRouting weight="100" />             </server>             <applicationRequestRouting>                 <healthCheck url="http://site.com/test.aspx" />                 <loadBalancing algorithm="WeightedRoundRobin" />             </applicationRequestRouting>         </webFarm>         <applicationRequestRouting>             <hostAffinityProviderList>                 <add name="Microsoft.Web.Arr.HostNameRoundRobin" />                 <add name="Microsoft.Web.Arr.HostNameMemory" />             </hostAffinityProviderList>         </applicationRequestRouting>     </webFarms>

Go on ARR server, open IIS7, create site.com website with bindings and with home folder at c:\inetput\wwwroot, restart IIS and everything will start working. http://dotnetpanel.com

  Re: Problems getting loadbalancing working with ARR Reply Contact  Hi,  creating site.com in ARR server made it work. Thanks   But another issue came up, when i restart all the apppools of site.com in all servers, first time after logging in the application behind site.com (.net 2.0 app), i get an error, if i refresh the page application opens like it should: 502 - Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server. There is a problem with the page you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed. When the Web server (while acting as a gateway or proxy) contacted the upstream content server, it received an invalid response from the content server.

  Re: Problems getting loadbalancing working with ARR Reply Contact Hi, I get 502.3 one or two times (probably once on one node). And another problem has emerged, after staying idle for a while a event is raised in ARR machines eventlog: - System   - Provider    [ Name]  Application Request Routing     - EventID 1000    [ Qualifiers]  32768    Level 3    Task 0    Keywords 0x80000000000000     - TimeCreated    [ SystemTime]  2009-10-28T13:02:11.000000000Z    EventRecordID 1398    Channel Application    Computer ARR    Security   - EventData    IIS1    site.com    health check status code failure and same event for another contentserver (IIS2), then 502.4 is the status code.

Also, for the health check failure, can you find the corresponding request on your content server and see what status code it actually replied with?

  Re: Problems getting loadbalancing working with ARR Reply Contact Seems like you are hitting timeout for the live requests - you can increase the timeout - assuming that your end users are willing to wait for more than 30 secs for the page to load - otherwise, you probably need to add more capacity on the backend. For the health check failure, you can use failed request tracing to see why you are hitting 500 error with the health check request. Anil Ruia Senior Software Design Engineer IIS Core Server
