Nginx + SSL for non-Apache app role

[Srini]

1.  I have customized a standard Apache role and installed JBoss (Our app runs on JBoss port 8080 and not on apache).

2.  Based on a note from Nick, I have left apache running (he mentioned that otherwise scalr will not recognize the instance/server as running)

I now want to configure nginx load balancer for the new app roles that i have created.

1. We will allow only SSL.  Where do I configure this?

2. Do I still need to create an Apache virtual host to upload the ssl certificates?

3. nginx needs to forward to the app role on port 8080.  Where do I configure that?

4. What happens to the SSL (and non-SSL) templates section?  Do I just leave it as it is?

Regards

Any thoughts from the community?  I did find some similar posts on support.scalr.net, but could not find a conclusive answer.

Any help / suggestions welcome

Hi Srini,

1. Just configure an SSL-enabled vhost and SSL termination will be configured automatically on the load balancer.

2. Yep.

3. Could be set in /etc/scalr/public.d/www.ini file on the load balancer

4. Just leave it as is.

Regards,

Nick

Hi Nick

I did try this. Apache does not start and results in a scalarizr error. I didn't try further and was instead experimenting with ELB.

ELB suits me fine. However I had one question there: on startup of the farm and after creating the elb, I want to run a script to configure the sticky session on elb. Where/How do I script this?

Cheers

What was the error by Scalarizr?

ELB sticky sessions can be configured for the specific load balancer on the management page: https://your.scalr.net/#/tools/aws/ec2/elb
