Answer 1

Have you got Selenium server running? You should have it installed or just run Selenium Server Standalone.

Look there: http://www.phpunit.de/manual/3.1/en/selenium.html

Answer 2

The tutorial you linked is for netbeans, if you run the test from inside netbeans it will automatically run selenium if you installed it correctly.

Alternatively you can download the jar file and run it directly, and then run your test from the commandline.
