ReferencePlatforms/Test/Win7 64-bit

this is very rough right now, it will be organized & detailed later

  • Turn on automatic updates, install all of them.
    • Complete list can be found here:
  • Turn off automatic updates
  • Turn off Windows Firewall
  • Turn off Screensaver
  • Set up auto-login for cltbld
    • Start Menu -> 'netplwiz' -> Uncheck, Enter Password
  • Install UltraVNC 1.0.8.2
    • Defaults up until "Additional Tasks" screen
    • Register UltraVNC as a Service
    • Start or restart UltraVNC
    • Stop 'uvnc_service'.
    • Browse to c:\program files\ultravnc and run 'winvnc.exe' as administrator (right click => 'run an administrator').
      • Use the following options:
      • Ports:
        • Main: 5900
      • [ ] Use Java Viewer
      • File Transfer
        • [ ] Enable
        • [ ] User Impersonation
    • Restart the computer

From this point forward do NOT logon with RDP. It will break the VNC service.

Apache

The DocumentRoot will be dependent on the builddir of your Buildbot slave. In this section that directory will be referred to as $BUILDDIR.

For machines in the pool of slaves, $BUILDDIR should be 'talos-data'.

Pageset

You will need to install a page set in c:\pages.

The rest

  • Download and install Apache version ????
  • Set 'Network Domain' and 'Server Name' to 'localhost'.
  • Create an empty directory so Apache doesn't complain:
mkdir c:/talos-slave/$BUILDDIR/talos
  • Change DocumentRoot and 'C:/Program Files..." <Directory> tag to 'c:/talos-slave/$BUILDDIR/talos'.
  • Add an alias so Apache knows where the pageset is. Add this to your httpd.conf:
Alias /page_load_test/pages c:/pages
<Directory c:/pages>
    Options Indexes
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
