Yes, using 1.8. I don't know what all this talk of a pause in the script is about. I start rmiregistry on one command line, and then go start jmeter in a different one. I never use system-wide classpaths, as that's a recipe for hard-to-debug problems. instead, I define a more local classpath in the command line for rmiregistry, and then start rmiregistry. Admittedly, windows doesn't localize such things as well as L/Unix, but, that's how I do it since I'm more used to Unix in that regard.
So, anyway, I just tried it again, and it worked perfectly my first try. For rmiregistry, I opened a windows command prompt, set the CLASSPATH to the full paths to jorphan.jar, logkitxxx.jar, and ApacheJMeter_core.jar. Then I started rmiregistry. Then, I opened a new command prompt, and changed directory to jmeter's bin dir, and started the server via "jmeter -s". then, I verified that my jmeter properties file included the "remote_hosts" line uncommented (it did, with ip of 127.0.0.1 - I have only one computer, but that shouldn't matter, it's still using RMI to communicate). Then, I started the JMeter gui, made a simple script,and ran it through the remote ip. No problems. I am running Windows2000, jdk1.4.0, and latest JMeter code from CVS, which is not different from 1.8 in this area. -Mike On 1 Jan 2003 at 14:10, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > To Mike, Steve, Barry: > > Hi Mike: > > As far as problems with remote testing, all I can say is that, on > > Windows2000, jdk1.4.0, it works for me.
