selenium: webdriver.PhantomJS(): "Error: Can not connect to GhostDriver on port 51263"
Question: I want to use PhantomJS() in python3.4 and typed

Therefore:

    
    
    from selenium import webdriver
    browser = webdriver.PhantomJS()
    

I got the error:

    
    
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/phantomjs/webdriver.py", line 51, in __init__
        self.service.start()
      File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/phantomjs/service.py", line 83, in start
        "Can not connect to GhostDriver on port {}".format(self.port))
    selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Can not connect to GhostDriver on port 40236
    

I know the error is thrown inside `selenium.webdriver.phantomjs.service`,
because the function `utils.is_connectable(self.port)` can't connect to the
localhost (the localhost is reachable).

    
    
    try:
        self.process = subprocess.Popen(
            self.service_args, stdin=subprocess.PIPE,
            close_fds=platform.system() != 'Windows', 
            stdout=self._log, stderr=self._log)
    except Exception as e:
        raise WebDriverException("Unable to start phantomjs with ghostdriver: %s" % e)
    count = 0
    while not utils.is_connectable(self.port):
        count += 1
        time.sleep(1)
        if count == 30:
            raise WebDriverException("Can not connect to GhostDriver on port {}".format(self.port))
    

I couldn't find a solution that worked for me, so it would be create if
someone has an idea.

My system:

    
    
    Linux controller 4.1.15-v7+ #830 SMP Tue Dec 15 17:02:45 GMT 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux
    


Answer: you must download phantomJS - [LINK](http://phantomjs.org/download.html)

and after that give path to it in your code

    
    
    browser = webdriver.PhantomJS(pathToPhantomJS)
