Remote test using jmeter triggers Connection refused error

Question

I followed this step for configuration http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/remote-test.html

• The 2 machines are on same subnet.
• They can ping each other
• Windows firewall is turned off

When I execute remote start its give a "Connection refused" exception.

Answer 1

Check whether your RMI port on your other machine(s) is closed? jMeter uses 1099 by default. Use cmd and type:

telnet [ip-address] 1099

You, of course, started the jMeter server on all machines, right?

Answer 2
