haproxy
I have a simple configuration of 2 MySQL being load balanced by HAProxy. For an unfortunate reason I need to use them in Passive\Active mode. So I thought I'd configure one DB as 'backup' and go to sleep. But I was wrong. Whenever I add the 'backup' to the server line HAProxy throws a communication link error (essentially saying 'no DB available" (with the 'backup' it works great). It just doesnt consider that server as a valid option any more...
I have tried this configuration:
listen mysql 10.0.0.109:3307
mode tcp balance roundrobin option httpchk server db01 10.0.0.236:3306 server db02 10.0.0.68:3306 backup
and also this configuration:
frontend mysql_proxy
bind 10.0.0.109:3307 default_backend mysql
backend mysql
mode tcp balance roundrobin option httpchk server db01 10.0.0.236:3306 server db02 10.0.0.68:3306 backup
Nothing worked!
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
