That , "only local connections are allowed" , is not an error.

check the chromedriver.exe version and chrome browser version compatability

Hi Ratan,

Please download the latest chrome driver from https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads

Thanks & Regards,

Monika

After downloading the driver, where do I put it? I this is rudimentary, but I'm having trouble getting started. Thanks.

Hi,

You can put it anywhere in your local machine.

After that you can just specify the path of chrome driver in your program:

Webdriver driver=  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\chromedriver.exe");

driver.get(give URL here);

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, this didn't resolve the issue.

I found the problem, though. A copy of chromedriver.exe installed with SeleniumBasic in 

C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\SeleniumBasic. When I replaced that with the newly downloaded chromedriver.exe, the problem resolved.

I'm posting the fix here so it's available for the next person to check, too.

Gordon,

The solution that worked is not what you described here. The solution was actually to use a different chromedriver.exe (which you are now and thats why it worked). The fact that _your_ chromedriver.exe was in AppData\Local\SeleniumBasic is really irrelevant to the original error.
