Greetings, [NOTE: I now realize that I mis-categorized this post - probably should have placed it under the "General" performance or tool troubleshooting sections.] One of our environments is configured to run an instance of Drupal (.php) on an Apache web server. When using WCAT (Web Capacity...

I'm using WCat 6.3.1 on WinXP to test a ASP application running on IIS 6.0. The application is owned by a third party, so I have no means of adjusting it.

Hi Sundar, WCAT does not support the port and server name as part of the URL. You need to specify these via the 'port' and 'server' options: url = "/default2.aspx"; port = 80; server = "192.168.1.1"; Hope this helps.
