Finally found out what the problem was. For those who are interested, here's the explanation I got from our sysadmin after several days of investigating-
"We found a java debug string that gives you verbose output and put it in the jmeter conf file (it's commented now) and it spit errors indicating that /dev/random on that box wasn't giving any information. /dev/random creates randomness from entropy on the system, most commonly (I believe) from input devices like mouse positions and stuff. /dev/random seems to work fine on the other boxes. Why it doesn't work on this box is unknown to me. Linux has another utility, /dev/urandom, that generates random numbers from an algorithm to emulate /dev/random, so I have the system using that instead of /dev/random. The jmeter script seems to run now." Ugh. Thanks to all who offered suggestions! -----Original Message----- From: Elli Swift [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 9:11 AM To: 'JMeter Users List' Subject: RE: JMeter requirements?

I'm guessing it's an environment problem. the test plan works on 2 systems, but a third system has problems. are you using plain valina HTTPS without custom certificates or other stuff? peter On 4/27/05, Elli Swift <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a JMeter script that connects to our application (HTTPS) and seems to > work just fine on my desktop computer.
