[Exist-open] Can't get clustering to work

[Piotr N. <xf...@gm...>]

Hello,

For past few days I've been trying to set up a simple eXist cluster
with no luck at all. First of all, Cluster Configuration doc page
lacks information about changing DB backend from 'native' to
'native_cluster'. Now I can finally see some exchange of packets
between hosts but still no replication occurs and there is no
indication that cluster is actually working. What is more, I cannot
find cluster console anywhere, though it's mentioned in documentation.
More about the systems: both eXist instances are running on
VirtualBox, both VMs are Ubuntu 10 and communication between them
works perfectly (I have already managed to setup clusters of various
other DB). Their IP addresses are: 192.168.56.101 and 192.168.56.102.
Configuration regarding cluster looks like this:

--> 192.168.56.101
<cluster dbaPassword="some_password" dbaUser="admin"
exclude="/db/system,/db/system/config"
        journalDir="webapp/WEB-INF/data/journal"
        protocol="TCP(start_port=7800):TCPPING(timeout=3000;initial_hosts=localhost[7800],192.168.56.102[7800];port_range=1;num_initial_members=1):VERIFY_SUSPECT(timeout=1500):pbcast.NAKACK(use_mcast_xmit=false;gc_lag=1;retransmit_timeout=300,600,1200,2400,4800;discard_delivered_msgs=true):pbcast.STABLE(stability_delay=1000;desired_avg_gossip=50000;max_bytes=400000):pbcast.GMS(print_local_addr=true;join_timeout=3000;shun=true)"
/>

--> 192.168.56.102
<cluster dbaPassword="some_password" dbaUser="admin"
exclude="/db/system,/db/system/config"
        journalDir="webapp/WEB-INF/data/journal"
        protocol="TCP(start_port=7800):TCPPING(timeout=3000;initial_hosts=localhost[7800],192.168.56.101[7800];port_range=1;num_initial_members=1):VERIFY_SUSPECT(timeout=1500):pbcast.NAKACK(use_mcast_xmit=false;gc_lag=1;retransmit_timeout=300,600,1200,2400,4800;discard_delivered_msgs=true):pbcast.STABLE(stability_delay=1000;desired_avg_gossip=50000;max_bytes=400000):pbcast.GMS(print_local_addr=true;join_timeout=3000;shun=true)"
/>
