When you design a scale, high availability, high performance system, I sure that you have to apply Replication, AUGUST 21, 2015

Sharding and Load Balance technologies for your database layer. In this post, I will show you the way how to setup a | THANHSON1085
load balance with PgPool2 for your PostgreSQL Master-Slave Replication.

My scenario as image below:

Step 1: Install PostgreSQL Replication for your servers

At rst, Please refer to 2 posts:

Install PostgreSQL 9.4

Install PostgreSQL Replication master-slave

After that, install Pgpool Lib:

1 sudoaptgetinstallpostgresql9.4pgpool2

Step 2, Install PgPool2 for server 192.168.1.3

1 sudoaptgetinstallpgpool2

Edit /etc/pgpool2/pgpool.conf as below:

1 #BackendConnectionSettings
2
3 backend_hostname0='192.168.1.4'
4 #HostnameorIPaddresstoconnecttoforbackend0
backend_port0=5432
5 #Portnumberforbackend0
6 backend_weight0=1
7 #Weightforbackend0(onlyinloadbalancingmode)
8 backend_data_directory0='/var/lib/postgresql/9.4/main/'
#Datadirectoryforbackend0
9 backend_flag0='ALLOW_TO_FAILOVER'
10 #Controlsvariousbackendbehavior
11 #ALLOW_TO_FAILOVERorDISALLOW_TO_FAILOVER
12 backend_hostname1='192.168.1.5'
backend_port1=5432
13 backend_weight1=1
backend_data_directory1='/var/lib/postgresql/9.4/main/'
14 backend_flag1='ALLOW_TO_FAILOVER'
15
16 #Authentication
17
18 enable_pool_hba=on

Make sure you set enable_pool_hba=on

And change /etc/pgpool2/pool_hba.conf to enable md5 for authentication:

1 hostallall192.168.1.0/24md5

Add account to /etc/pgpool2/pool_passwd.conf (just a example)

1 postgres:md5xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Now, run pgpool with log:

1 pgpoolnd>/tmp/pgpool.log2>&1&

And stop Pgpool if you need:

1 pgpoolstop

Finally, test your installation. Good Luck!
