load balancing problem

Postby gardo » Mon Sep 25, 2006 11:44 am

I'm getting this problem doing the load balancing between 2 asterisk servers and 1 mysql server. I have 2 asterisk servers (ast210 and ast211) sharing 1 database (mysql200). The first problem I'm getting is when I login to ast211 (http://ast211/agc/vicidia.php), instead of hearing "You're the only person in this conference", I get this "That is not a valid extension. Please try again". Second error I'm getting is, when I got to http://ast211/agc/astguiclient.php and try to login, it doesn't allow me to. The page doesn't even change. No error message. Nothing at all.

This is my iax.conf in ast211:

bindport=4569
iaxcompat=yes
bandwidth=high
allow=all
allow=alaw
allow=ulaw
allow=gsm ; Always allow GSM, it's cool :)
jitterbuffer=no
tos=lowdelay
register => ASTtest1:test@192.168.15.210:4569 ;connect to 2nd asterisk server

[ASTtest2]
type=friend
accountcode=IAXtrunk2
context=default
auth=plaintext
host=dynamic
permit=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
secret=test
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
qualify=yes

On ast210, I have this in iax.conf:

[general]
bindport=4569
iaxcompat=yes
bandwidth=high
allow=all
allow=alaw
allow=ulaw
allow=gsm ; Always allow GSM, it's cool :)
jitterbuffer=no
tos=lowdelay
register => ASTtest2:test@192.168.15.211:4569 ;connect to 1st asterisk server

[ASTtest1]
type=friend
accountcode=IAXtrunk1
context=default
auth=plaintext
host=dynamic
permit=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
secret=test
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
qualify=yes

I also put this entries to extensions.conf in ast211:

; VICIDIAL_auto_dialer transfer script Load Balance Overflow:
exten => 8367,1,AGI(call_log.agi,${EXTEN})
exten => 8367,2,AGI(agi-VDAD_LO_transfer.agi,${EXTEN})
exten => 8367,3,AGI(agi-VDAD_LO_transfer.agi,${EXTEN})
exten => 8367,4,AGI(agi-VDAD_LO_transfer.agi,${EXTEN})
exten => 8367,5,Hangup

; VICIDIAL_auto_dialer transfer script Load Balanced:
exten => 8368,1,AGI(call_log.agi,${EXTEN})
exten => 8368,2,AGI(agi-VDAD_LB_transfer.agi,${EXTEN})
exten => 8368,3,AGI(agi-VDAD_LB_transfer.agi,${EXTEN})
exten => 8368,4,AGI(agi-VDAD_LB_transfer.agi,${EXTEN})
exten => 8368,5,Hangup

The VDAD exten on my campaign is 8365. I tried changing it to 8367 and 8368 but I'm still hearing the same message on my softphone.

My dbconnect.php files already point to mysql200.

Sounds like you are missing the conferences in meetme.conf find this information in the SCRATCH_INSTALL

I solved the first problem already. It has to do with this line:

insert into vicidial_conferences values('8600051','10.10.10.15','');
insert into vicidial_conferences values('8600052','10.10.10.15','');
and so on....

I changed the IP address to my ast211 IP address. When I login to http://ast211/agc/vicidial.php I now hear "You're the only person in this conference".

Should I add another entry for my ast210 server? Should I run
insert into vicidial_conferences values('8600051','ip address of ast210','');
insert into vicidial_conferences values('8600052','ip address of ast210','');
and so on...
To have an entry for my ast210 server?

What I did was created conferences on the 2nd asterisk server like this (meetme.conf)

Server1
8600011
8600012
8600013

with corresponding vicidial_conferences entries directed towards server 1's IP address.

Server2
8600111
8600112
8600113

with corresponding vicidial_conferences entries directed towards server 2's IP address.

Enjay, can you please elaborate a little more. I'm not that adept yet with Vicidial. Can you show me how your meetme.conf looks like?

My meetme.conf looks the same as yours..

Server 1
Code: Select all
;
; Configuration file for MeetMe simple conference rooms
; for Asterisk of course.
;
[rooms]
;
; Usage is conf => confno[,pin]
;
;conf => 1234
;conf => 2345,9938

; vicidial conferences
conf => 8600011
conf => 8600012
conf => 8600013
conf => 8600014
conf => 8600015
conf => 8600016
conf => 8600017
conf => 8600018
conf => 8600019
conf => 8600020
conf => 8600021
conf => 8600022
conf => 8600023
conf => 8600024
conf => 8600025
conf => 8600026
conf => 8600027

etc etc


Server2
Code: Select all
;
; Configuration file for MeetMe simple conference rooms
; for Asterisk of course.
;
[rooms]
;
; Usage is conf => confno[,pin]
;
;conf => 1234
;conf => 2345,9938

; vicidial conferences
conf => 8600111
conf => 8600112
conf => 8600113
conf => 8600114
conf => 8600115
conf => 8600116
conf => 8600117
conf => 8600118
conf => 8600119
conf => 8600120
conf => 8600121
conf => 8600122
conf => 8600123
conf => 8600124
conf => 8600125
conf => 8600126
conf => 8600127

etc etc


then in my vicidial_conferences on my database I have corresponding entries for each conference pointing to the proper IP address for which server "THAT" conference resides on.

Do we have any step by step detailed guide for setting up load balancing? The installation from scratch is a good document. I hope we can come up with something like that for load balancing. :D

How you set it up depends greatly on how much equipment you have and how you divide the major components and how you have your trunks set up.

I don't really have the time to do this, but if someone would volunteer that would be great.
