Thank you for your suggestions sebb, but none of those were the problem. In my log, I had:
ERROR - jmeter.engine.ClientJMeterEngine: java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 127.0.0.1; After some more digging on the web, I found this thread: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=288759&messageID=2518854 dealing with the same problem with rmi registry. To sum it up, the problem only occurred when mixing windows and linux machines. The linux machines were returning 127.0.0.1 as their address, and then the windows machine would try to connect to 127.0.0.1 which obviously would fail. To correct this problem, when I started the server, I used the flag -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where the xxx's equal the ip address of that machine on which I'm starting the server. -Erik sebb-2 wrote: > > On 08/09/2007, ECNiz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> I'm trying to setup a JMeter Distributed test.
