Hi,

I have a server and I need to make load balancing for it(master,slave)
So I know I need to create a slave. But how can I install load balancing on master so it would work on slave aswell?

Any help or links are appreciated.

First question is what kind of server is it? What service is it providing? web/mail/file/...

What operating system are you on?

Are you trying to have an automatic failover, or do you just want to switch over manually when there is a problem?

Sorry for not replying.

I finally know more information about the server.
So my "load balancer" is running debian Linux.
Other terminals are windows 2008 servers.
I need to load balance RDP connections(remote desktops).
I'm an intern and I'm really bad with Linux I have been reading a lot but didn't find anything worth trying.

So in short my debian server needs to balance windows RDP between 2 or 3 windows servers.

Ok, then what you want to look into is haproxy with TCP load balancing.

According to this link it even support RDP cookies ...
http://www.loadbalancer.org/blog/loa...nd-rdp-cookies

This was not very clear. I copied haproxy.cfg and changed stuff I need. But I couldn't find where to put the startup script.
Apart from that if I did everything good should this balancing work? Because my debian server isn't connected to anywhere.

With the limited info you have given us here, I'm going to make the following assumptions (isn't that fun )

• You have already installed haproxy from the debian repository
• You are running debian jessie

The install scripts already exist, you just need to run 'systemctl restart haproxy' to make your changes take effect.

Yes, but that's a huge assumption.

I don't know what this means.

cant restart haproxy getting some errors. tried restarting whole server still getting error. the error outputs just loaded started etc etc.. and failure=1.

and for the startup script
"You will need to change your HAProxy start up scripts:" this line is from that link you gave me
where is this script located?

Ah, I see now. You are following the instructions in the link I provided. That is now what I intended. There should be tons of links on the internet explaining how to setup TCP load balancing, and they'll be easy enough to follow.

Configuring the RDP session cookie is more advanced and will require installing a specific development version (might be in a more stable version as well, I have no idea). I only provided the link as some extra information if you want to take your configuration to the next level. It's always best to start simple.

can you please link me to that? I can't seem to find anything I can follow...

Here is one of many examples

One more question. I managed to set up the connection, but all counters are at 0. How can I make them live?

Is it working? Have you tried connecting RDP to the haproxy server?
Anything in the haproxy log file?

I'm not sure if its working or not, no error logs. And no I have not tried to connect RDP. The servers are linked
and at first table some numbers are changing. but at the second table nothing is changing except for time.

The first table is the "stats" server. The one that you are connecting to to see that image. That's why it is updating. Try to connect RDP and see if it works. Then the other table should update.

I just tried to connect with remote desktop connection to the ip of my debian server, it connected me to 1 of the windows servers.. so I guess its working?
