I am working with Jmeter2.3.2 version and trying to record a webpage. I have added http proxy server under workbench and added http request default under thread group. using port 9090 and target controller test plan -> thread group. grouping -> do not group samplers.

After this setting i have started proxy server and opened internet browser selected manual proxy setting and added address as localhost with port 9090.

The issue is Jmeter is nopt recording anything.

You don't require the HTTP Request to get going. Remove it, start the jMeter proxy, record your test actions in your browser, stop the proxy server and go to run->start to run your test.

I would recommend you to consider alternatives to writing script through proxy:

1) using badBoy tool . Here is video tutorial Get started with BadBoy for jMeter script writing benefits: easy record, easy export to jmeter, not necessary to launch jMeter while writing

2) using chrome extension for jMeter script recording without launching jMeter benefits: You can export the script written to jmeter and/or to cloud as well and run it on the cloud.
