2-5 lucee service and IIS

dev
1

Hi All

I’ve run into a problem. How can I use a balancer and multiple versions of Lucy so they can all communicate with her?

Do you have any ideas?

I was copy lucee → lucee2
set lucee port 8010

all run and fine

but problem IIS not see

I have install lucee1 install with windows installer

Also i was try add settings to web.config



<!-- Load balancing settings -->
<add key="BonCodeAJP_EnableLoadBalancing" value="true" />
<add key="BonCodeAJP_LoadBalanceMethod" value="RoundRobin" /> <!-- or "LeastBusy" -->

<!-- Session stickiness (important!) -->
<add key="BonCodeAJP_EnableSessionStickiness" value="false" />

<!-- ModCFML -->
<add key="BonCodeAJP_EnableModCFML" value="true" />

<!-- Health check settings -->
<add key="BonCodeAJP_ConnectionRetries" value="3" />
<add key="BonCodeAJP_ConnectionTimeout" value="5000" />

But they not works

Not sure exactly what you’re doing but try this…

In the BonCodeAJP13.settings file, you can define multiple backends:

<add key="BonCodeAJP13_Instances" value="localhost:8010,localhost:8011" />

Add Sticky Sessions (you can use application request routing module in iis for sticky sessions or using boncode’s)

<add key="BonCodeAJP_EnableSessionStickiness" value="true" />

Configure retries and timeouts so IIS doesn’t send traffic to a dead Lucee instance:

<add key="BonCodeAJP_ConnectionRetries" value="3" />
<add key="BonCodeAJP_ConnectionTimeout" value="5000" />

If you want strict separation

  1. Create multiple sites
  2. Each site has its own BonCode settings file pointing to only one port.
  • Example:
    • Site A → BonCodeAJP13.settings → localhost:8010
    • Site B → BonCodeAJP13.settings → localhost:8011

Approaches:

  • For load balancing → Use one IIS site with BonCode listing both ports and a balancing method.
  • For version isolation → Use separate IIS sites, each with its own BonCode config pointing to a single Lucee port.

I not sure i’m doing correct
This file C:\Windows\BonCodeAJP13.settings
<Settings>
<Server>localhost</Server>
<Port>8009</Port>
<add key="BonCodeAJP13_Instances" value="localhost:8009,localhost:8010" />
<add key="BonCodeAJP_EnableSessionStickiness" value="true" />
<add key="BonCodeAJP_ConnectionRetries" value="3" />
<add key="BonCodeAJP_ConnectionTimeout" value="5000" />
<EnableRemoteAdmin>True</EnableRemoteAdmin>
<EnableHeaderDataSupport>True</EnableHeaderDataSupport>
<ForceSecureSession>False</ForceSecureSession>
<AllowEmptyHeaders>False</AllowEmptyHeaders>
<ModCFMLSecret>***</ModCFMLSecret>
<RequestSecret>***</RequestSecret>
</Settings>

I also try create folder inside project like W:\Project\BIN\BonCodeAJP13.settings

And set for each project each lucee but this file not pick from BIN

I have 2 lucee what is run on 8009 and 8010

When i stop first lucee sites not load and give error about port 8009

can you share the error message, is it coming from tomcat / lucee or IIS?

Error connecting to Apache Tomcat instance.

Please check that a Tomcat server is running at given location and port.

You can change this message by changing TomcatConnectErrorURL setting in setting file.

ok, which version of Lucee?

Are there any errors in the tomcat\logs or tomcat\lucee-server\context\logs

can you access each Lucee instance directly on port 8888 or whatever you configured?

7

Both version Lucee 6.2.2.91

First lucee connect to 8888
second runs on 8889 port

not have any erros
