Try to run some appium tests in remote appium server static String HUB\_URL = “[http://ie1-abc12-qa.qa.xxx:4444/wd/hub](http://ie1-abc12-qa.qa.xxx:4444/wd/hub)”; driver2 = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(HUB\_URL), capabilities); but I see this error: _org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure._ The selenium grid nodes are up and running on Linux like in this picture: ![image](https://discuss.appium.io/uploads/default/original/2X/6/6ebb6236f744546848d0c7af3d77a90887f37feb.png) ---

hi, did you pass the url right? Is the machine you’re pointing to active? ---

Yes, I can see the nodes in the hub here: “[http://ie1-abc12-qa.qa.xxx:4444/wd/hub”;](http://ie1-abc12-qa.qa.xxx:4444/wd/hub%E2%80%9D;) ---

Have you checked that the remote Appium server is running correctly and that there are no problems starting the server? ---

this is how i run my test in remote ``` else if(config.getProperty("browser").equals("remote")){ ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions(); options.addArguments("--disable-notifications"); options.addArguments("--disable-gpu"); options.addArguments("--disable-extensions"); options.addArguments("--no-sandbox"); options.addArguments("--disable-dev-shm-usage"); options.addArguments("--remote-allow-origins=*"); try { driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://xxx.xx.x.xxx:4444/wd/hub"),options); } catch (MalformedURLException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } ``` ---

For remote I think I must use **RemoteWebDriver** with HUB\_URL ``` public void setIosCapsRemote() throws MalformedURLException { capabilities.setPlatform(Platform.LINUX); capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, "iOS"); capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION, "15.5"); // capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME, "XCUITest"); capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "iPhone 12 Pro Max"); capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "Safari"); String appUrlIos = System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/src/app//........../xxx.app"; capabilities.setCapability("app", appUrlIos); driver2 = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(HUB_URL), capabilities); driver2.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS); } ```
