[Chromium-users] New User Question: Windows and Chromium: Problem with first demo atlantis

[David L. P. P. <pa...@gm...>]

I have installed Chromium on Windows system. I have compiled Chromium and I
am attempting to run the initial demos.

I am following the Chromium documentation and running the atlantis demo
first. The documentation lists the following four steps:

1: % cd mothership/configs
2: % python crdemo.conf atlantis &
3: % crserver &
4: % crappfaker

My question is do I perform these four steps on the same machine (i.e.
Chromium okay with 127.0.0.1 loopbacks?). Or should I run #1 and #2 on one
machine, #3 on a second machine, and #4 on a third machine, all networked
together?

I only have one maching at the moment. I've attempted to run the four steps
under Cygwin on one machine. Here's a cut-n-paste of my results. I get an
error at step #3. I've added my computer's name into the
C:/Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts file (i.e. Cygwin, /etc/hosts) as a
loopback entry (127.0.0.1  Old_Laphroaig).
