Okay, this is my first ever try to run the Selenium Grid.
1 - I went according this page: http://selenium-grid.seleniumhq.org/run_the_demo.html
ant launch-hub
ant launch-remote-control
ant run-demo-in-sequence
Ofcourse, every command in different MS-DOS window (Running windows XP)]
I see everything as demo suggests, up to the last point where I see just this:
run-demo-in-sequence:
[java] [Parser] Running:
[java] Selenium Grid Demo In Sequence

New window of firefox does come up but thats it. I waited like 10 minutes and nothing happened.
I found this question on SO, which did not help me at all.
Because this is freshly installed, I am going to try to restart computer to see if it helps, but other help is highly appreciated.
EDIT Restarting of the computer did not help. I tried also running demo in paralel, with same result - four new firefox windows appear and nothing happens.
ANT:
Apache Ant(TM) version 1.8.3 compiled on February 26 2012
Selenium grid version: 1.0.8
Firefox version 11.0
EDIT 2
OK, stupid me - the demo references that I will find the source codes in demo subfolder. Since I cannot find the demo subfolder ... that could be the issue, right? :)
EDIT 3
I checked older version of selenium grid and it does not contain the demo subfolder also. Ok, I am stuck...
Selenium version 1.0.8 doesn't support FF 11.0. You should use Grid 2.0 . Thats the latest. You can find details here
