to mwlib
We have two webservers that are front-ended by an F5 load-balancing
appliance. These servers are sharing ALL files in the mediawiki
instance (LocalSettings.php down to the latest uploaded file). The
database is on a third server that is hidden from the public view and
mwlib is installed on a fourth server also hidden from public view.
Our test environment has all three of these functions (webserver,
database and mwlib) consolidated onto a single server and the
Collection extension for mediawiki works okay.
But for our complex production environment, the collection of articles
works and submits to the mwlib server, but the rendered PDF file is
not retrievable. The TCP traffic in the mwlib server seems to indicate
that it is trying to send data back to the F5 address for the
mediawiki site instead of to the individual webserver that submitted
the request for rendering.
Are there any configuration changes I can make to Collection or MWLIB
to make the transfer of data stay between the individual webserver and
the mwlib server?
