RE: Work request response was empty ??
Blank responses are normal if you haven't submitted any tests. Did you navigate to http://www.mydomain.com/ and submitted a test?
Are there any files in /home5/mydomain/www/mysubdomain/work/test ? |

RE: Work request response was empty ??
If I was a betting man I'd say it was because you used different cases on the client and server (test in urlblast.ini and Test in locations.ini). If the sample is screwed up let me know and I'll get it fixed.
Otherwise the only other thing that jumps to mind would be to make sure the keys match (and maybe remove the key in locations.ini for testing). If it's neither of those then we'll probably have to add some logging to getwork.php to see what's making it unhappy. |

Also do you have a copy of the *.ini files with comments so I can play around with the setting more? Before - [locations] 1=Test_loc default=Test_loc [Test_loc] 1=Test default=Test label=Mikes Test Location [Test] browser=IE 8 latency=0 label="Mikes Test Location" localDir=/home5/mydomain/www/mysubdomain/work/test key=**** After - [locations] 1=Test_loc default=Test_loc [Test_loc] 1=test default=test label=Mikes Test Location [test] browser=IE 8 latency=0[/color] localDir=/home5/mydomain/www/mysubdomain/work/test key=**** |

RE: Work request response was empty ??
Hmm, what kind of settings are you looking for? Support for multiple locations or something more complicated?
The main reason I ask is that urlblast.ini has some pretty crazy options because it was originally built to do bulk url testing on farms of test machines and the WebPagetest support was bolted on (as was support for crawling a site). The web side of things is a bit simpler: Locations.ini largely just supports what you see, just with the ability to have a bunch of locations. I can upload the version from the public site if that would help (or you can grab it from svn here: http://code.webpagetest.org/svn/webpagetest/settings ). The one thing that is coming soon is the ability to specify a Lat/Lng for each location and have it show up on a map for selecting a test location. settings.ini is pretty basic. The only useful thing not documented (off the top of my head anyway) is support for Google analytics. You can put an analytics account in the ini file and you'll start getting analytics for the site. You can look at the production version in svn as well. Thanks, -Pat |

Thanks Pat for the link to the svn (You got me curious now> ) About the urlblast.ini crazy options. Any link for that? I would love to create multiple locations, and maybe generate traffic for load testing .I looked at the file in the svn looks like it can do a lot of things . There couldn't be more, could there? Is there a way to run tests automated every 10 mins with the hosted version and send alerts based on thresholds. If not; I'm sure there is a way to script this feature. If I add features to this project is there a way to submit it for others? Man!! endless ideas in my head > I'm so excited !! |

Anything more than once or twice a day will get your IP blocked (to protect the system capacity). You can automate a private instance all you'd like though. One of the users has built a monitoring system on top of the XML API that he's talked about open sourcing as well so look for that in the not too distant future. For the urlblast options there is a commented version of the file here: http://code.webpagetest.org/svn/pagetest...lBlast.ini but a lot of the options probably won't make sense and there isn't really any documentation for them (well, outside of the code). |

RE: Work request response was empty ??
Empty responses is normal, that's what is returned if there is no work pending for the specified location. It can be a problem if there is actually work waiting but that will likely be a mismatched key or location value.
Don't be thrown off by the port not being in the log file, it's just a reporting issue. In your case the problem is the location in urlblast.ini. It should be Test, not Test Location (the value in the brackets for a given location, not the label). You also don't need to specify the account and password, looks like you're just using the defaults. Thanks, -Pat |
