Invalid Location, please try submitting your test request again

Hello, I am trying to setup a private instance of webtestpage and wptmonitor. I have the 2 products running on the same server, and I am trying to use IE8 client based on EC2 AMI ami-406f9429.

I have the new AMi running as EC2 instance , my locations.ini file:


[EC2_Viginia]
1=ec2-us-east-IE7
2=ec2-us-east-IE8
label="Amazon EC2 East ( Viriginia )"

[US_East_IE8]
;AMI: ami-406f9429
user-data: wpt_server=webpagetest.ziffdavisinet.com wpt_location=ec2-us-east-IE8 wpt_key=secretKey
browser=IE 8
latency=0
label="US East (Virginia) - IE8"
key=secretKey

I launched my ec2 instance using this user data:

wpt_server=webpagetest.ziffdavisinet.com wpt_location=ec2-us-east-IE8 wpt_key=secretKey

When I execute my job, I get :
[ERROR] [submitWPTRequest] Job Submission failed with message: Invalid Location, please try submitting your test request again.

Where can I start looking for clues ?

ec2 instance is open on port 80 to teh world

Looks like you really want a locations.ini that looks more like this (may be a few typos since it's off the top of my head):

[locations]
1=us-east
default=us-east

[us-east]
1=ec2-us-east-IE7
2=ec2-us-east-IE8
label="Amazon EC2 East (Virginia)"

[ec2-us-east-IE7]
browser=IE 7
label="US East - IE 7"
key=secretKey


[ec2-us-east-IE8]
browser=IE 8
label="US East - IE 8"
key=secretKey


The user-data in locations.ini is just there to show you what the user data string should look like but you don't want to uncomment it.

If you have't seen it yet, I have an illustrated example here: https://sites.google.com/a/webpagetest.o.../locations

The EC2 instance doesn't need any ports open, it polls the server for work (which means the server needs to be reachable from it though). You should be able to submit jobs without any agents running - that error points to a server config issue (locations.ini or filesystem permissions).
