issue accessing separate each server behind load balancer

    I have a site with two webservers and a database server behind a load balancer. Development is done on a separate dev server, and from time to time I need to update the theme files, and plugins. the problem I have is not being able to log in to wp-admin on each instance from behind the load balancer to do things like clear the cache after updates. The problem is the internal redirect that sends me to the load balancer side after submitting the login.

    So how can I get to wp-admin on each instance behind the load balancer?

    Thanks!

  • thats a hosting environment issue.

    you should have an rsync script or similar that allows you to push changes that are done on the dev site to the load balanced installs.

    I do use rsync for the files that I need to keep synced between the two, but there are times when I want to access wp-admin on each instance without the redirect getting in the way.

    if you dont mind my asking — why?

    I use supercache and apc. And the people that did the work don’t want to wait for the cache to expire before they see the results of template changes. Personally I would be happy with just being able to delete the cache.

    Hmm… Perhaps I am approaching from the wrong angle. I could just add a call to wp-cron.php for each instance to my update script. Any reason not to do that?

    nope.

    sorry, I completely skipped over your reasoning explained in the first post when I asked ‘why’. Im glad I spurned on some more thoughts, nonetheless.
