My quick build is programmed to follow the routine: PdfLaTeX + BibLaTeX + PdfLaTeX (x2) + View Pdf. When I ask Texmaker to run the quick build, it returns no error, and the Pdf file has only
[?, p. 2]
as content. However, when I put exactly the same files in exactly the same paths in http://www.sharelatex.com, it correctly returns the content
[1, p. 2]

Actually there is no stopping process due to critical errors. This is the messages I have access after compilation:

I can't find any bib log file. As I've being telling, I created the foo.bib file with the bibliography information described in the first post. I think I forgot to mention (maybe important): I use Texmaker with Miktex in Windows 7. Again: the same structure (location of files and the same files contents) gives the expected result when compiled in Sharelatex online. It also worked in linux (I asked a friend of mine to try it there).
Is it possible that my Miktex and/or Texmaker have wrong settings?
If there is no bib log file then the program that creates the bibliography has never been called. You may try it on the command line. Open a command line, navigate to the folder where your file is in (let's call in myfile.tex) and then enter
