Distributed Testing with Jmeter - testing

Question

I am using Jmeter 2.8 and trying to do distributed (master-slave) testing for the first time.
I setup everything fine
set Ip addresses in JMeter.properties
run Jmater-server.bat on all machines
but when I run test(a very simple request) it gets failed:
Request:
http://localhost:8080/web/login?credentials=<credential><userId>WillieWonka
</userId><passwd><![CDATA[WillieWonka]]></passwd></credential>
Error I am getting is
org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connection to http://localhost:8080 refused

While server is up and running (I tested this request running from localMachine only, It is working fine).
What is wrong?
What I am missing?

Answer 1

I have resolved this issue, replaced
localhost:8080
with
computerName:8080
and start application server via start.bat instead run.bat
now it is working fine.
