Description Riccardo Vezzini 2022-06-09 16:59:39 UTC 
Hi,
I'm running an apache 2.4.52 compiled from source.

When I setup mod_proxy_hcheck *outside* a virtual host section, I encounter some issues.
inside webserver logs I found this entry:

/appl/apache/hcheck-www1-sd/logs/error_vhost_log:[Thu Jun 09 18:42:20.519298 2022] [proxy_hcheck:trace4] [pid 15022:tid 140163408184960] mod_proxy_hcheck.c(1110): AH10019: Missing unique per-server context: 02srv00p8m.hosts.eni.intranet (24fbe00:246d888) (no hchecks)

health check seems to be working (in backend's logs I found calls to my hcuri url) but nothing is traced inside webserver logs other than the "(no hchecks)" entry.

Our setup is pretty simple:

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
LoadModule proxy_balancer_module modules/mod_proxy_balancer.so
LoadModule watchdog_module modules/mod_watchdog.so
LoadModule proxy_hcheck_module modules/mod_proxy_hcheck.so
LoadModule lbmethod_byrequests_module modules/mod_lbmethod_byrequests.so
LoadModule lbmethod_bybusyness_module modules/mod_lbmethod_bybusyness.so

ProxyHCTemplate 200keep hcmethod=GET hcinterval=60 hcpasses=1 hcfails=3 hcuri=/pub/hc.html

Header add Set-Cookie "APACHE_ROUTEID=.%{BALANCER_WORKER_ROUTE}e; path=/" env=BALANCER_ROUTE_CHANGED
<Proxy balancer://AppCluster>
  BalancerMember https://server1 route=1 hctemplate=200keep 
  BalancerMember https://server2 route=2 hctemplate=200keep
  ProxySet stickysession=APACHE_ROUTEID
  ProxySet lbmethod=bybusyness
</Proxy>

If I add an ProxyHCTemplate or ProxyHCExpr entry inside the virtualhost block, even if not used, it seems to work flawlessy:

It seems to be the exact opposite of bug #1600579

Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
