I see most of the requests that requires authentication fails with a '500 internal server error' when running the scripts on an AWS instance with ubuntu. The same script runs fine on my local with Windows, in UI and Non GUI mode. I am running Jmeter V3 in both the local and AWS.

It is pretty much similar to the question here, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21854363/request-type-not-being-set-in-non-gui-mode-in-jmeter

More details below

Jmeter V3.0 Java 1.7.0_121 No external CSV files used

  • Can you share your test script? Did you record the script (if yes which tool did you use)?

  • I had 2 scripts, both recorded, one using jmeter firefox proxy and one using blazemeter chrome plugin. The trouble both the script runs on the machine that is created and does not run in the AWS instance.

We are not telepathic enough to guess why exactly your script works on one machine and doesn't work on another. The reason is something different, where "something" could be:

  • Java version
  • JMeter version
  • .jmx script
  • jmeter/system properties
  • external files used in i.e. CSV Data Set Config
  • application unavailability from one of the locations
  • etc.

Troubleshooting suggestions:

  1. First of all check jmeter.log file, normally it contains enough information to get the idea regarding the error

  2. For failing request(s) compare the full information available via View Results Tree listener: request parameters, headers, cookies, full response including response message, headers and body. Mention the differences and work them around. You can temporary enable storing aforementioned request and response details by adding the next lines to user.properties file (located in JMeter's "bin" folder) on Amazon instance

    jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.samplerData=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.requestHeaders=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.url=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.responseHeaders=true
