Problems with hosted version

[rickzan]

I reboot my windows 7 with perfectly functioning webpagetest and suddenly in pagetest window there is only blank space when urlblast start a test.

This was the first reboot in 2011: there is some problem with the date?


regards

more....

if I put in thr URLblast.ini file "Clear Cache Interval=1", Urlblast stop working with a dump few tenth of seconds after start....

[pmeenan]

Shpuldn't be related to the clear cache interval (though I'll look into the crash). That just controls how frequently the drive is defragged and the OS user profiles deleted. The cache folders are cleared regularly before each test.

That is a REALLY long timeout (also shouldn't be the cause of the problem but something to be aware of). The timeout is per-test and in seconds so you're effectively configuring it to allow a single test page to take 5 days.

There isn't a problem with the date or new year that I have seen, the public instance machines have all been running clean through the transition, including the IE9 tester which is Windows 7 as well.

Try commenting out the browser=pagetest.exe line (put a semicolon at the beginning) and restarting urlblast to see if that helps. Might also check the system restore history to see if there were any updates or installs since the last reboot.

[rickzan]

do u want I send you the .dmp file of the crash?

---

the string to pagetest is

http://www.boomik.com/runtest.php?f=xml&...ation=Test


also: i have to kill urlblast because it doesnt shutdown

I try to put a semicolon there but nothing happened. and if i put a clear cache inrteval to 1, keep on crashing


regards

[pmeenan]

Let me see if I can reproduce the crash with the clearcache interval set to 1. If you're feeling adventerous and back up your ulblast, pagetest.dll and pagetest.exe you can grab the absolute latest version from here: http://www.webpagetest.org/work/update/update.zip (build 255). It should be backwards compatible with your setup (it just won't honor browser=pagetest.exe in the ini file, that was moved to a setting on the server). I don't think I fixed anything that would have caused the crashes you are seeing but it has gone through quite a few internal changes.

Thanks,

Thanks! with the new version problem is clear: no parameter passed to the browser. Any idea?

now i can launch the IE with the page but the it take a long time to finish to load the page. probably was a security problem with the User1. I desinstall the last IE updates
How can I reinstall the "User1"? maybe some registry entry was corrupted

[pmeenan]

It might be easiest to do a system restore to some point late last month when things were still working. It looks like the LA test agent for the public instance had the same problem and a system restore fixed it. I haven't been able to figure out why it is happening to only a few systems though.

Thanks,

;( can't do that. more things. with the new version of pagetest and new user - manually defined -

seem that ex'plorer hung and urlblast restart, but looking to the little window fo urlblast no restart is seen

---

another strange thing (but i never checked it when everything ran smothly):
the registry is something like that but i read the documentation and it has to be more:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pa...Automation

[rickzan]

New situation: I canceld the user1 and something more happens
an IE is launched with the right url, urlblast records a new directory in the result path with the 3 files: testinfo, testinfo json and url. But no result is written and the explorer windows is closed at the timeout. it is an explorer windows with all the stuff. it is not a pagetest windows without toolbar

any idea?

regards and thanks
