Test returning blank pages
Hello,
I'm trying to setup a private instance to work with IE. I have the server installed on CentOS and can access it via a browser. The agent is a Windows 7 machine. UrlBlast is running at startup. Everytime I run a test it returns a blank white page. I notice that the tests are being queued because I see "13 pending tests" next to test location on the webpage. I see all of the jobs in the work/jobs/IE/ directory. Thanks for any help you can provide! **urlBlast.ini** [Configuration] Startup Delay=30 Log File=c:\webpagetest\agent\log\ Timeout=120 use current account=1 ; Where to get work from Url Files Url=http://www.mydomain.com/work/ Location=IE Location Key=TestKey123 **locations.ini** [locations] 1=Test_loc 2=Public_Dulles default=Test_loc [Test_loc] 1=IE 2=Test label=Test Location [Public_Dulles] 1=WPT_Dulles_IE8 label="WebPagetest.org - Dulles, VA" [IE] browser=IE 8 latency=0 label="Test Location - IE 8" ;browserExe=pagetest.exe key=TestKey123 [Test] browser=Chrome,Firefox label="Test Location" [WPT_Dulles_IE8] browser=IE 8 label="WebPagetest.org Dulles, VA - IE8" relayServer="http://www.webpagetest.org/" relayKey=<your API key> relayLocation=Dulles_IE8 |

RE: Test returning blank pages
Sorry, sounds like there are 2 different issues going on:
1 - The blank white screen. You should be redirected to a test progress screen, not a blank page. This does sound a lot like what mwhite was seeing here: http://www.webpagetest.org/forums/showth...p?tid=6181 (basically, zlib is a dependency that was not documented). 2 - The test agent isn't picking up the work. Check your access log on the server to make sure you see requests coming in from the agent for /work/getwork.php |

I now get to a screen that says "Waiting behind 17 other tests" but that number never changes. I went into /var/www/webpagetest/work/jobs/IE/ and removed the 16 previous entries and restarted Apache but nothing changed. It still says waiting behind 17 other tests. Any idea how to fix that? Thank you so much! |

RE: Test returning blank pages
The tests not running is a result of #2. It doesn't sound like the test agent is successfully communicating with the server. First step is to check the server's access log to see if the agent requests for /work/getwork.php are showing up (my guess is that they are not).
You can add "debug=1" to the urlblast.ini which will spew debug information to the log file that may help but ig I had to guess I would say that something is wrong connecting to http://www.mydomain.com/ from the test agent (that needs to be the server name that is running WebPagetest and it needs to be reachable from the test agent). |

When you say access log do you mean /var/log/httpd/access_log? If so, that log is not showing anything regarding getwork.php. I added debug=1 and rebooted the Windows machine. Don't see anything useful in the urlblast.log. Sorry, is their anything else I could provide that would be useful in helping me troubleshoot? |

RE: Test returning blank pages
Do you see the request URLs in the urlblast log? If so, can you try loading it up in a browser on the test machine?
Can you access http://www.mydomain.com/ from the test agent? If so, do you get the WebPagetest test screen? |

RE: Test returning blank pages
Hmm, looks like it isn't starting up correctly. Try disabling UAC and make sure you are running it under an Administrator account. I'll see if I can figure out what the next step in the startup is supposed to be and what might be stopping it from working.

Thanks - I double checked and I am an Admin, UAC and Windows Firewall are disabled. I appreciate your help! |
