Error running JMeter in Server mode

[Trevor Johnson <tr...@caris.com>]

Hi,

I have been trhying to get JMeter 2.0.1 running in server mode but I continually get the following
error message in the log file:

2004/06/03 16:15:32 INFO  - jmeter.JMeter: Version 2.0.1

I know rmiregistry is running because I can see it in the Task Manager.  When I try executing the server
manually I see the java.exe process start and immediately stop.  The above error is what's generated.
When I try to contact a remote server I get a "Bad call to remote host" error even though I can see the
IP address in the list.

Does anybody have some suggestions other than whats in the documentation.

I am trying to run this on Windows 2000 Pro machine with JSDK 1.4.2.  Any suggestions would be
most welcome.
