Jmeter doesn't work in other environment though it works local

Question

Hi I had configure a .jmx to work with a thread group that does a simple http request.

It works perfectly locally, but when I upload the .jmx to another server in amazon it doesn't work.

Differences between local machine and ec2 server: local:

is ubuntu when jmeter was installed as sudo apt-get install jmeter. And the version is 2.3.4.

the jmeter.log is something like this:

and keep going.

Server:

the jmeter was download and unzipped. And the version is Version 2.3.4

the log is something like this:

And stops there.

Can you give any pointer? Maybe some way of debug the jmeter in the ec2 server?

thanks in advance

Answer 1

Do you have the proper java sdk version running on the server?

I haven't setup Jmeter to run from a server before, but the article below is how to get Jakarta JMeter up and running on a fresh Ubuntu 6.06 Server (Dapper Drake) install:
