Test completed but No successful result on IE9, in Firefox it is working fine

WebPageTest Private Instances
1

Hi,
I’ve setup my private instance of webpagetest in windows server 2008(32bit), also set up a test agent(IE8) in the same machine, set up test agent(IE9,Chrome,Firefox) on another machine(64bit).
now I can perform the test on both local or separate machine, but on IE8, IE9, there is no test result, I check the test machine, the browser was able to open but didn’t load the test site.
using Firefox browser, it can run the test successfully and display the result.
while using Chrome browser, it shows below popup with below error message and when I click ok manually the test can process and successfully.
Chrome Popup:[color=#FF6347] Your profile could not be opened correctly.
Some features may be unavailable, please check that the profile exists and you have permission to read and write its contents.[/color]

here is the log of URLblast, can anyone please help to to resolve it, thanks.

I setup the instance by user guide of Andy’s article(Configuring an ‘all-in-one’ WebPageTest Private Instance )

but I didn’t do below step which is mentioned in webpagetest documentation, not sure whether it is the reason I didn’t get result,
I don’t know what is apache user, how to give the apache user permission?
Grant the apache user read/write permissions to the following folders under the DocumentRoot:
tmp
results
work/jobs
work/video
logs

Thanks,
Daisy

I resolved the IE issue by adding browserExe=pagetest.exe in location ini,but I’m not sure is it the same with IE browser, could anyone explain it, thanks.

pagetest.exe uses the IE engine embedded and it’s basically the same as IE but it’s not exact.

Try adding “use current account=1” to urlblast.ini.

As far as the chrome dialog box goes, close any explorer windows you have open and wptdriver should close the error message for you automatically.

Thanks, I’ve used “use current account=1” in urlblast.ini, still IE cannot open the test url.
