Empty 'Test Location' despite starting agent

WebPageTest Private Instances
1
  1. I seek to setup wpt server and agent locally (on same machine) - ubuntu box
  2. I have setup wpt server over apache and am able to see wpt private instance home screen on hitting local url ‘http://wpt/’
  3. The problem is that ‘Test Location’ drop-down remains empty despite many attempts to get the config right and starting the agent. Config details below - looking for pointers of where I’m going wrong.

[A]

My locations.ini (located at /var/www/html/wpt/www/settings/locations.ini) is as below. I restarted apache server after putting in the following details:

[locations]
1=LocalPageTest
default=LocalPageTest


[LocalPageTest]
browser=Chrome,Firefox
label="Local Browsers"

[B]

I’m trying to start my agent as below:

python wptagent.py -vvvv --server http://wpt/work/ --location LocalPageTest

[C]
The output on command line on starting wptagent.py is as below:

python wptagent.py -vvvv --server http://wpt/work/ --location LocalPageTest

Requesting to please point me to where I may be going wrong with the above config.

I’m having the same problem and I’m about to pull all my beard off trying to get it to work. The only difference is that I’m running the docker containers for both server and agent on an ubuntu host, but same locations.ini file.

May i ask, did you solve this problem?
I’m having same problem when starting agent。
