Test returning blank pages

[pmeenan]

You log looks like it ends at the end of logging the machine information and right before configuring dummynet. The only thing between those steps in the code is registering the pagetest.dll browser plugin in IE (assuming the debug=1 is working and trace-level information is being logged).

I've never seen it have a problem registering. You can try registering it manually from a command line by entering:

regsvr32 pagetest.dll

and see if that works or if it shows any issues. Any chance there's a super-aggressive antivirus product that might be blocking it?

What dos the URLBlast window say for it's status? That might provide more information as well.

I registered the DLL manually and it did not throw any errors.

The UrlBlast window shows:

"Runing...

Rate: N/A
CPU USage: % (% instantaneous)"

The Windows machine is a fresh install of Windows 7 with no additional software added.

When I try to test it keeps incrementing the "waiting behind x other tests" number. Up to 23 now.

Hello,

Just checking in to see if you can think of anything else I could try to get this working.

Thanks for all your help.

It doesn't sound like the "debug=1" option actually stuck. Can you make sure the log file directory exists and is writable? To get to "Running" there would have been a LOT more debug messages in the log.

C:\webpagetest\agent\log exists.
I changed the permissions to full control by everyone.

Still not having any luck both in terms of running the test or having the log file generate anymore info.

Here is my urlblast.ini does anything look off?

[Configuration]
debug=1
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

It looks ok to me, that's really bizarre. You can try grabbing a wireshark capture to see what the requests from the client look like but that's the best option I have at this point.
