JBoss and httpd are failing to join together due to "Invalid method in request INFO"

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Attempting to set up mod_cluster through EWS but JBoss and httpd are failing to join together.

  • From the JBoss (EAP 5) logging, we see:

    ERROR [org.jboss.modcluster.mcmp.impl.DefaultMCMPHandler] (ContainerBackgroundProcessor[StandardEngine[jboss.web]]) Error [null: null: {4}] sending command INFO to proxy <IP>:<PORT>, configuration will be reset

    Or on EAP 6:

    ERROR [org.jboss.modcluster] (ContainerBackgroundProcessor[StandardEngine[jboss.web]]) MODCLUSTER000042: Error null sending INFO command to <IP>:<PORT>, configuration will be reset: null

  • And on the Apache side:

    127.0.0.1 - - [21/Jan/2015:04:38:50 -0500] "INFO / HTTP/1.1" 501 1255
[error] [client <IP>] Invalid method in request INFO / HTTP/1.1
