JMeter slave – server failed to start: Java rmi. RemoteException: cannot start Ip-10-142-111-66 is a loopback address

I created a quasi system EC2 Ubuntu server and only used hte to install JMeter to follow

sudo apt-get install jmeter

The server is designed as a slave server When I run sudo JMeter server, I get the following error This error leaves me nowhere to go because it is a simple Ubuntu server. As far as I know, JMeter apt get install will install all dependencies I have read this article, but it is still vague to solve the problem

Solution

I have a similar problem. I gave up the Ubuntu packaged version of JMeter for the updated version

You can find them here: http://archive.apache.org/dist/jmeter/binaries/

I can start the server like this:

wget http://archive.apache.org/dist/jmeter/binaries/apache-jmeter-2.8.tgz
tar -xzf apache-jmeter-2.8.tgz 
export RMI_HOST_DEF=-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
apache-jmeter-2.8/bin/jmeter-server

Note: this also solves the problem discussed here
