Problems running selenium server
Hi there
I've created a server on Digital Ocean with forge, installed my repository and then tried to run selenium (java -jar selenium.jar) from the command line but it just hangs here...
11:23:41.633 INFO - Launching a standalone Selenium Server
Setting system property webdriver.chrome.driver to ./chromedriver
11:23:41.687 INFO - Java: Oracle Corporation 24.95-b01

11:23:41.809 INFO - Driver provider org.openqa.selenium.safari.SafariDriver registration is skipped:

Has anyone got Selenium server up and running through a forge built server? Any ideas on what might be causing the hanging?
Thanks

Looks like you're attempting to run selenium on your digital ocean server. That's not going to work, at least not without some config changes to selenium to use the phantomJS webdriver (a headless webkit browser).
You can see several clues there about issues: It's skipping windows and mac specific config, and attempting to use the chrome driver on linux since the current engironment is linux. So -- either install phantom and update your selenium config to use that, or run selenium locally against the remote server.

My two cents with a link: You can install Selenium to run as a service (headless). I think one quite good source for information is http://pietervogelaar.nl/ubuntu-14-04-install-selenium-as-service-headless
This would get you working on AWS, Digital Ocean, Google Cloud etc.
Then the next step would be to decide on communicating with the webdriver or choose the phantom route.

It seems related to setting up browser driver. Give a try to this package which will eliminate downloading driver and selenium standalone server.
