title: While initiating the ChromeDriver getting an exception
body: <p>I'm very new to Selenium. Below given is my first test script. </p>
  
  <p>Question: Does it require selenium server to test a local website (which is hosted in the same machine as the test scripts being run).</p>
  
  <p>Also tried executing the same script from Internet Explorer also, still getting the same.
  It just opens the browser and closes(because of finally block) it.</p>
  
  <pre><code>import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
  public class TestScript {
      /**
       * @param args
       * @throws InterruptedException 
       */
      public static void main(String[] args) {
          ChromeDriver driver = null;
          try 
          { 
              System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\user1\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe");
              driver = new ChromeDriver();
              System.out.println("Opening the Browser");
              driver.get("http://localhsot:5080/myWebSite/8450191#");
              System.out.println("Open the Browser");
              System.out.println("");
              System.out.println("Title" +driver.getTitle());
  
          }
          catch (Exception ie)
          {
              ie.printStackTrace();
          }
          finally
          {
              System.out.println("Quitting the Browser");
              driver.close();
              driver.quit();
          }
      }
  
  }
