[Webtest] continuing (tho different) install problems

[Jeff Nielsen]

Lisa, I tried runnning your buildfile and noticed the following problems.

 - protocol should be "http" not "http:"
 - basepath should be "/" not "."

Also, I can't access http://www.lauracohn.com:8080/index.html from my web
browser.  Are you sure this is a publicly available site?

Did you try the one I posted a minute ago?  It runs for me.

Jeff Nielsen


p.s. I'm running with build #276, which is an older build.
