Request for Ubuntu setup instructions using Chrome + Firefox + no IE

All the setup instructions I’ve found so far all require a Windows machine.

If anyone has a link to a Ubuntu (or other Linux) + no-IE/Windows setup, pass it along.

Thanks!

If someone can pass along a URL for this, I can likely figure out the steps required.

Thanks.

You’d need to use the node.js agent and it only works with Chrome and basic functionality (no video for example) : https://github.com/WPO-Foundation/webpagetest/tree/master/agent/js

For desktop browsers you’re far better off with a Windows machine or at least using one of the Windows EC2 AMI’s (for mobile the Node agent works VERY well and can capture video).

Thanks…

I’ll take a look + try to decipher the instructions.

hi,
Can anyone please help me resolving the issue of running the webpagetest server on linux (ubuntu) box?

I want to run the webpagetest server on linux box & also the test agent (nodejs) in the same linux box.
I have just followed all the steps specified in the description page & also specified by Patrick in the forum.
But, I am not able to bring up the server.

ramkris@ramkris:~/webpagetest/webpagetest-master/agent/js$ sudo ./wptdriver.sh -m 10
node src/agent_main --serverUrl http://localhost:8888 --location Test --browser browser_local_chrome.BrowserLocalChrome --chromedriver /home/ramkris/webpagetest/webpagetest-master/lib/webdriver/chromedriver/Linux i686/chromedriver-i686

Running the wpttest.sh script says all the 52 tests are passed.

Also, I am not able to connect to any of the following pages.
http://localhost:8888/work/getwork.php?location=Test&f=json
http://localhost:8888
http://127.0.0.1:8888/work/getwork.php?location=Test&f=json
http://127.0.0.1:8888

It will be very helpful if anyone can help me resolving this issue.

Thanks
Ram
