How to use loadrunner for testing web-based application?

Exactly the data which a user of your site will enter as soon as it will be in an e-commerce website.
Check your concept by implementing a simple test case, e.g.
logon - some info - logoff
stress your site with this simple script and n parallel virtual users
(n = 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000)
create some more complex tests and repeat.

Any server setup that is not needed in order to use Loadrunner for an e-commerce website. From the server point of view, it is just if many real users would stress your site.
