I followed this link and now when I type phan and then tab (\t) it does autocomplete to phantomJS.

Yet if I run phantomJS -v or phantomJS --version I get:

bash: /usr/local/bin/phantomjs: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

Additionally if I try to run:

>>> from selenium import webdriver
>>> driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/phantomjs/webdriver.py", line 50, in __init__
    service_args=service_args, log_path=service_log_path)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/phantomjs/service.py", line 50, in __init__
    service.Service.__init__(self, executable_path, port=port, log_file=open(log_path, 'w'))
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'ghostdriver.log'
>>>

If I try to follow this I get:

>>> import os
>>> driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(service_log_path=os.path.devnull)
Exception AttributeError: "'Service' object has no attribute 'log_file'" in <bound method Service.__del__ of <selenium.webdriver.phantomjs.service.Service object at 0x7f182ec13690>> ignored
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/phantomjs/webdriver.py", line 51, in __init__
    self.service.start()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 69, in start
    os.path.basename(self.path), self.start_error_message)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'phantomjs' executable needs to be in PATH.

Is my selenium/phatnomjs installed with the proper rights?

I created a directory /home/ec2-user/temp and set:

chmod 777 /home/ec2-user/temp

Yet 

>>> from selenium import webdriver
>>> driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(service_log_path='/home/ec2-user/temp/ghostdriver.log')

Yields:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/phantomjs/webdriver.py", line 51, in __init__
    self.service.start()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 69, in start
    os.path.basename(self.path), self.start_error_message)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'phantomjs' executable needs to be in PATH.

If I type which phantomjs I get:

$ which phantomjs
/usr/local/bin/phantomjs

  • Are you really sure about the capitalization? It's usually `phantomjs` and not `phantomJS`. Type `which phantomjs` to see where it is installed. – Artjom B. Jun 28 '16 at 08:00
  • @ArtjomB. I updated the question. – jason m Jun 28 '16 at 10:53
  • Did you install PhantomJS through npm? Check if it is a symbolic link or sh wrapper around the actual executable – Artjom B. Jun 28 '16 at 12:14
  • No I did what is in the answer to my top link above. It is a symbolic link to another path. – jason m Jun 28 '16 at 12:16
  • You mean you [this](http://stackoverflow.com/a/14267295/1816580)? If so, then this cannot be done for an RPi, because RPi doesn't have an x86 architecture. You would need to use an executable compiled for arm-hf, which [it](https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads) doesn't provide. You need to find another method of installing PhantomJS with the proper architecture. – Artjom B. Jun 28 '16 at 14:43
  • Would npm do this properly? – jason m Jun 28 '16 at 14:44
  • No idea if there are appropriate executables for RPi in "phantomjs" or "phantomjs-prebuilt". – Artjom B. Jun 28 '16 at 14:49
  • I will try and post my progress. – jason m Jun 28 '16 at 14:49

It very much sounds like a 64 vs 32 bits issue.

To find out whats the version of your ubuntu, you can run

$ uname -i
x86_64

Then make sure to download the correct version of phantom

Also make sure your lib are corresponding to the version of your OS.

You can check out this link.

driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path='Complete path/to/phantomjs.exe')

It worked well for me.
