Re: [hylafax-users] hylafax dual-server failover/load balanced

Hi Stefan

 

Thank you for the reply.

Unfortunately it is still not working. The mount point would not have been visible, so as a test I renamed the seqf file to seqf.orig, and created a link called seqf pointing to seqf.orig, all in /var/spool/hylafax/sendq. Permissions and ownership is correct.

 

It still returns the same error.

 

Regards

Johan

Johan,

 

as hylafax runs chroot'ed: Is the mount point visible, if /var/spool/hylafax is the root dir of the chroot'ed environment?

 

Kind regards

 

Stefan

Hi

 

We are trying to run two hylafax servers in a load balanced setup, using the same jobid.

The servers run Redhat linux 5 with hylafax 6.0.4.

 

Please let me know if there is a recommended way of doing this, or if you’ve had any success in load balancing two servers.

 

What I’ve done so far:

 

 I have tried to replace the ‘sendq/seqf’ file with a symbolic link to a seqf file on an NFS mount shared between the servers, but hylafax returns the following error:

 

“503 Unable to open sequence number file sendq/seqf; No such file or directory..”

 

Permission and ownership of the seqf file is correct.

The other option is to share the entire sendq directory or hylafax home between the servers.

I’m not sure if this is possible as it will cause other complications with config etc.

 

Thank you

Johan Viviers
