Unable to record in Jmeter

Question

I want to record a scenario for the a particular site using Jmeter. As per the standard procedure I have changed the proxy settings to localhost:8080.

When I start recording, the page of the particular site does not load.

Note: For normal browsing we use a particular proxy. Please assist on this asap.

Following is the error that I get on the browser.

If you are using any proxy server - Check whether you have not bypassed localhost in proxy settings. In latest version of Jmeter(2.11) you can use test script recorder template to create test plan . — Nithin CV

you are testing an application behind a proxy server. so, you have to specify this when running JMeter. To solve your problem you must follow those steps:

Open cmd command ang go under bin folder
type jmeter.bat -H [proxyserver hostname or ip address] -P [proxyserver port]

Example : jmeter.bat -H my.proxy.server -P 8000

For More details: If you are testing from behind a firewall/proxy server, you may need to provide JMeter with the firewall/proxy server hostname and port number. To do so, run the jmeter[.bat] file from a command line with the following parameters:

-H [proxy server hostname or ip address] 
-P [proxy server port] 
-N [nonproxy hosts] (e.g. *.apache.org|localhost) 
-u [username for proxy authentication - if required] 
-a [password for proxy authentication - if required]
