Add the IP-address of the webserver to the memcache configurtion in `/etc/memcached.conf`. This will be different for each of the webservers. Make sure there is no space between the comma and the IP-addresses. For www01 it will look like this.
{{{

session.save_handler = redis
session.save_path = "some redis stuff"

You can ask memcached for som statistics, by sending it a stats command.
{{{
echo 'stats'|nc www01 11211
}}}
This will produce something like this. (only 10 first lines are shown).
{{{
STAT pid 1696
STAT uptime 1335
STAT time 1581299188
STAT version 1.4.33

FIXME! As memcached looses its content e.g cookies on a reboot, we will have to use redis instead!!!

Apache

Running a redundant apache server does not require much from apache itself, but rather the underlying filesystem and a proxy in front of it. The filesystem is important, so the website can be shared between the servers. For this we will use GlusterFS. PHP sessions will have to be shared between the webservers as well and finally we will put a proxy in front of apache, which will be a combination of Corosync and HA-proxy.

In this setup we will configure 2 apache servers. None of these will be master/slave/primary/secondary. They will just be running with the same configuration. Since the servers are configured the same way it makes sense to share some files.

  • 192.168.1.51 www (virtual IP-address)
  • 192.168.1.52 www01
  • 192.168.1.53 www02

Software

apt-get install apache2 php php-mysql

Filesystem

Configure your system as a GlusterFS client, so you have the following in your fstab.

/etc/glusterfs/www.vol /var/www glusterfs defaults,_netdev,rw 0 0

Testpage

Make a simple webpage, that shows something unique about the system. This is usefull when debugging. index.php

   1 <?php
   2         header('Content-Type: text/plain');
   3         session_start();
   4         if(!isset($_SESSION['visits']))
   5                 $_SESSION['visits'] = 0;
   6         $_SESSION['visits']++;
   7         echo "client: " . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "\n";
   8         echo "server: " . $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] . "\n";
   9         echo "hostname: " . gethostname() . "\n";
  10         echo "visits: " . $_SESSION['visits'] . "\n";
  11         echo "cookie: ";
  12         if (array_key_exists('PHPSESSID', $_COOKIE))
  13                 echo $_COOKIE['PHPSESSID'];
  14         echo "\n";
  15 ?>

PHP Sessions

Creating a PHP session on one webserver, does not create it on the other. As requests bounces back and forth between the two webservers, this will be a problem for PHP sites. The solution is called memcached.

Add this to redis configuration file whatever its called .... /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/memcache.ini.

something

In /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini and /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini find the entry session.save_handler = files and change it to the following.

session.save_handler = redis
session.save_path = "some redis stuff"

Copy the configuration to all webservers and finally restart the services.

service apache2 restart
