Setting up a Buildbot Slave

How to setup a Buildbot Talos slave (replace the master.host, username, and password with the correct values)

cd c:\
mkdir talos-slave
buildbot create-slave talos-slave master.host:9989 username password

Edit the buildbot.tac file to have keepalive = None

You should then start the slave once to create the proper directory structure.

buildbot start talos-slave
buildbot stop talos-slave

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 2.2.6
• 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>

• Restart Apache from the system tray icon
• Test the install by browsing to 'http://localhost/page_load_test/framecycler.html'. You should see rapidly changing pages.
• Turn off logging, remove any lines that begin with "CustomLog"

Set up buildbot auto start

Create startTalos.batch on desktop

cd c:\
buildbot start talos-slave

Create startTalosSlave.xml on desktop
