$ echo `torquebox env TORQUEBOX_HOME`/jboss/standalone/configuration/standalone-ha.xml

Replace the element with this:

<mod-cluster-config
   advertise-socket="modcluster" proxy-list="127.0.0.1:6666" advertise-security-key="secret">

Start Apache up:

$ ./opt/jboss/httpd/sbin/apachectl start

Start TorqueBox:

$ torquebox run --clustered

Deploy an app to it

$ cd myapp/
$ torquebox deploy

Now check things out. Open a browser like this:

$ open /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app --args --explicitly-allowed-ports=6666

And check these URLs:

• http://localhost:6666/mod_cluster_manager -- should see the node

• http://localhost:8000/home/index -- should see the TorqueBox app
