too long

Question

I want testing my site load (site is write on php) via apache bench.

I have local server (xampp), OC: windows.

In directory apache/bench there is file ab.exe, this means that apachebench is installed in my local server yes?

I have local site localhost/my_test, I want simulate concurrent 1000 request on this site, in CMD I write this command:

ab -c 1000 localhost/my_test

answer from CMD is: 'ab' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Tell please, where I wrong?

Answer 1

AB needs a complete URL: Usage: ab [options] [http://]hostname[:port]/path

So, in your case the URL should look like: localhost/my_test/

It needs the path - which in this case is simply the /

Hope this helps
