Hi,
I have installed a “Private Instance” of WPT on 32 bit Windows XP. Both server and agent is on same machine. I have also configured Chrome.
I am able to start WPT private instance page thru URL. After providing the test URL , I can see it is performing test on agent-cum-server.
THE PROBLEM IS that the status never pass “Test is partially complete (1 of 1 runs).” I am able to see first view and second view done successfully.
Please help.
I also found the following entry in urlblast_log.txt

It looks like some issue with browser (“Terminated Hung Browser”). Should I try with a new machine??
Also can you suggest some way to increase the log level. I tweaked common.inc. But it didnt help…
PS: I hide the machine name as I am not sure if my company security policy allows me to post that on public forum.
If you add debug=1 to the urlblast.ini it should increase the log level but it may not provide visibility into why the browser hung. Do you have any antivirus installed on the machine? How about other browser plugins? I have seen issues with McAffee AV before where their browser filtering and webpagetest’s browser instrumentation didn’t get along.
Somehow now hang issue is not happening.
I do have an Anti Virus Installed, which is “CA eTrust ITM”
I can see it is opening and closing pages properly. But it seems it is not calculating performance (Page Speed etc…) I can see the screen shot, but doesn’t show the complete report.
Any remedy??
Can you try disabling the Antivirus to see if that cleans it up (or put “browser=pagetest.exe” into the locations.ini to use the custom IE container)?
It is still not working.
I have also not done the following steps correctly. Could it be an issue on Windows XP??
[quote]Grant the apache user read/write permissions to the following folders under the DocumentRoot:
tmp
results
work/jobs
work/video
logs
[/quote]
How give these permission in Windows XP?? there is no such option under properties??
Note: I have created a new environment on Windows XP Professional SP 3
PS: Sorry for late response.
I run on Windows XP all of the time for doing dev testing so I know it can work. I usually run WAMP through instead of trying to hand install each of the pieces, it seems to work a lot smoother.
I must be missing very basic step for the configuration.
Just tell me how to “Grant the apache user read/write permissions to the following folders under the DocumentRoot” in windows XP??
I will try to debug things myself
If you are running Apache under the current user account and that user created the directories then you already have permission. Right-click on the folder and select properties and go to the permissions tab to grant any extra permissions if you need to.
