Server failed to start: java.rmi.RemoteException: Cannot start. is a loopback address.
Hi all;
I have unpacked /root/Desktop/jakarta-jmeter-2.3.2 on a Centos 5 machine; and I am attempting to run jmeter-server.
I am getting the following error:
Server failed to start: java.rmi.RemoteException: Cannot start. <hostname> is a loopback address.
I don't understand this error; can anyone shed any light on what I need to do?
I will be trying to use several of these machines in a distributed test, if I can get the server started.
Sorry if this is a repeat post, I am a newbie and can't see how to search the list archives. Web searches are proving fruitless so far.
Regards, Sam

The host name is resolving to a loopback address, e.g. 127.0.0.1.
The server sends its host details back to the client - and obviously
the client cannot contact the server using a loopback address.
Some Linux systems seem to default to defining the hostname as a
loopback address; check the relevant documentation as to how to change
this.
