Apache Load Balancing with Haproxy on Ubuntu 14.04 – English

I want to show how you can config Load Balancing with Haproxy on Ubuntu 14.04. More info about Load Balancing you can find here, something about Haproxy you find here.

What we need to config Load Balancing:
1.  Load Balancer(Haproxy) on Ubuntu 14.04 – IP 192.168.1.15
2. Web1 on Ubuntu 14.04 – IP 192.168.1.16
3. Web2 on Ubuntu 14.04 – IP 192.168.1.17

Below screen our test network:


 1. Config Load Balancer/ Web1/Web2:

After installing Ubuntu on Load Balancer we need config some features.

Set new root passwd.
Open Terminal and write

sudo passwd root 
Enter new UNIX password:             
Retype new UNIX password:            
passwd: password updated successfully
Set  new Hostname
sudo nano /etc/hostname
write inside the file haproxy
These same steps we must do on Web1 and Web2, of cource we must write Web1 and Web3 on hostname file.


2.Config Haproxy:


Install Haproxy:

apt-get install haproxy

Afer installation, we can check haproxy version:

haproxy -v

Next we open

sudo nano /etc/default/haproxy

3.Config LAMP on the Web1 and Web2:

4.Configure LAN settings.


If we used physical computer we should change only IP addresse, net mask etc. But if we used virtual machines mu must select something like that: Host-only:A private netowrk shared with the host.
