Hi

I am using apache load balancer Registered two member. I can see the load balancer manager members.
When I trying to disable a member from CURL, I am unable to disable but when I am trying to disable from GUI I am able to.

Below is my curl command:


Code:
curl -s -XPOST "http://${server}:${port}/${manager}?" -d b="${balancer}" -d w="${worker}" -d nonce="${nonce}" -d status_D=1 -d lf=1 -d status_I=0 -d status_H=0 -d ls=0 -d wr= -d rr=
curl -s -XPOST "http://${server}:${port}/${manager}?" -d b="${balancer}" -d w="${worker}" -d nonce="${nonce}" -d dw=Disable


Below is my load balancer configuration

Code:
    ProxyRequests off
    <Proxy balancer://apachelb22>
            BalancerMember http://103.26.112.105:8081
            BalancerMember http://152.87.14.10:8082
            ProxySet lbmethod=byrequests
    </Proxy>
   
    <Location /balancer-manager>
            SetHandler balancer-manager
    </Location>
   
    ProxyPass /balancer-manager !
    ProxyPass / balancer://apachelb22/
    ProxyPassReverse / balancer://apachelb22/

When I tried to disable using curl command I am getting below error

Code:
    [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /var/www/html/balancer-manager


My apache version is Apache/2.2.34

Please let me know where I am going wrong

Regards
Satyanvesh

$CURL -s -o /dev/null "${target}?b=${balancer}&w=${worker}&nonce=${nonce}&status_D=1&lf=1&ls=0&wr=&rr="

You say you're using Apache 2.2 rather than 2.4 series.

The more recent 2.4 series releases added a referer header check in addition to the nonce check, to further help against cross-site access to the balancer manager, but that change evidently wasn't propagated to 2.2.34.

Looking at the 2.2.34 source code for mod_proxy_balancer.c, it's light on logging error messages compared to the 2.4 variant, so it's difficult to know what to suggest is wrong with your CURL POST process, assuming you've scripted the dynamic nonce correctly.

One possibility would be to capture the network traffic with Wireshark, to compare the difference between the balancer manager GUI and CURL transactions. This will be more challenging if your site is secure, but still doable.
