[Webtest] UnknownHostException problem after WebTest install

[Peter Cruickshank]

Hi guys

I've installed Webtest on my Mandrake 9.1 system, and have just hit the same 
problem reported by Wei Chena few days ago - output at the end of this 
message

Here's some more information and thoughts, which might be helpful...

I have installed webtest into /usr/local/webtest

PATH=/usr//bin:/bin:/usr/bin::/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/home/
mytest/bin:/usr/local/apache-ant-1.5.4/bin 
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_01
ANT_HOME=/usr/local/apache-ant-1.5.4
(Note - CLASSPATH is not set... could this be the problem?)

I am running Apache 2 (and the httpd daemon is running) - web root is
/var/www/html - ie webtest is outside the webroot...

I have been successfully run the Java demo scripts, so Java seems to be OK, 
it's been a while since I played with java, so I may have missed some vital 
step.

Are any changed needed to the Apache conf? - for instance, does Ant require 
jakarta to be installed? I've not used Ant before, so I'm not sure how to 
make sure that it's working...

Loads of questions I know - but I'm keen to get the hang of webtest so that I 
can be sure that the web code I'm writing actually works!

Thanks in advance for any help or ideas

Cheers

Peter
