Hey JMeter Users,
I am trying to use JMeter with this setup:
1) Server on Amazon EC2 with its own static IP aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
2) Client on my local dev box behind a router with an IP address if
192.168.0.10
To run the server I execute
>> ./bin/jmeter_server
To run the client I type
>> ./bin/jmeter -n -t bin/testplan.jmx -R aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
When I run the test plan the server hangs and the tests never finish
and the results never populate. Looking at the jmeter-server.log I
see Java exceptions like this:
2009/08/17 20:49:25 INFO - jmeter.samplers.RemoteListenerWrapper:
Test Started on aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
2009/08/17 20:52:34 ERROR - jmeter.samplers.RemoteListenerWrapper:
testStarted(host) java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to
host: 192.168.0.10; nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out
And looking at nmap, my server is sending these every minute or so:
22:35:36.106299 IP aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd.42641 > 192.168.0.10.58349: S
1916790738:1916790738(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 90441062
0,nop,wscale 7>
I can understand why the client test doesn't work.. the remote server
is sending packets to the wronge place. I have looked through
numerous mailing posts and it seems like many other people have these
problems however no one really reports a succesful solution. I have
concluded that JMeter just won't work from clients with private IP
addresses. Is this true? and if not (hopefully not) what is the
solution?
Thanks,
James
