Parallel Deployment Help
I'm working on setting up Parallel Deployment on Luminis IV on Red Hat.
The resource tier is up and running with just the web server. We're not doing Calendar or Email. This box has been configured and is up and running.
I installed a portal tier server yesterday and am stuck. I configured NFS to share /opt/luminisshared/ and have it in the appropriate values for configman.
When I type in the portal-tier URL, I get redirected to the resource-tier web URL.
I have a BigIP F5 configured that I'm going to use, but when I go to the virtual host, I get redirected back to the resource-tier web URL as well.
I don't know if I missed a page in the documentation or what. Can someone direct me to the documentation or what I'm missing to get the portal-tier server to work?
Thanks.
Configman
Check all of the following configman values; at least on our installation, they are set to the virtual hostname:
local.fqn
local.url.base
ping.client.sslproxy.host
security.https.proxy.host.name
web.fqn
web.host
web.secure.fqn
web.secure.host
Thanks for your reply...all
Thanks for your reply...all of those settings mentioned were set to the resource-tier hostname.
I have since changed those settings to the virtual hostname....as well as
fos.server.cookie.value
fos.server.secure.cookie.value
and the first settings I altered were:
pd.enabled=yes
pd.server.cookie.enabled=yes
I've setup fos.server.cookie.value/fos.server.secure.cookie.value for both servers participating in the PD under the "site" for the host-specific settings.
Currently, when I go to the virtual hostname in a web browser, I'm still redirected to the login page on the resource tier. Upon successful login, it goes back to the virtual hostname, but ends up on a session timeout error page.
I'm going to keep digging around in the documentation, but I can't believe there's not a cheat sheet out there to get all these settings switched to what they should be easily.
Thanks again for your help.
install.conf file settings review
If the listed settings from the previous post were referencing your resource tier hostname and not the virtual portal hostname, it sounds like you may have had some incorrect settings in your install.conf file.
For Luminis 4 PD, SGHE publishes a 'Luminis™ Platform/ Parallel Deployment Implementation Guide' document that you should review prior to doing a PD install - I think the latest version is for Luminis 4.1 . In addition, the Luminis installation .iso has a 'doc' folder which lists examples of how to build your install.conf files for each portal tier based on the desired applications implementation (whether it is for a standalone or a PD install).
Key items to remember with a PD vs. a standalone installation :
Can you post scrubbed versions of the install.conf files for your resource and portal tier installs so that we can review them?
