Facing issues running example scripts on Ubuntu 15.04.

[sow...@gmail.com]

Hi!

I am a complete newbie as far as PhantomJS is concerned and no prior experience with using PhantomJS. I built PhantomJS 2.0.1-development from source code on Ubuntu 15.04 and was trying to run the examples/hello.js. The system I am running is Ubuntu 15.04 VM with apache webserver running and direct access to internet (proxyless).

In my first attempt I did not get any output so tried to specify --debug option. Here is my run log:
root@89fd1a2b3771:~/phantomjs/examples# phantomjs --debug=true hello.js

I thought it could be a problem with my proxy setting (I have no proxy), so tried to specify that using --proxy-type option. Here is my run log:

Despite this, I am unable to get anything out of it and I am utterly clueless about what's going on. Tried to search Net but most of the tutorials stop at "phantomjs --version" step. I would highly appreciate if somebody could advise me about how to proceed and/or what could be wrong.

Thanks,
Atul.

It contains following code:

console.log('Hello, world!');
phantom.exit();

It is the standard file that comes in "examples" directory of the source code.

Thanks,

I am wondering if "webdriver" value needs to be set - meaning if it is mandatory. Also, is it a must to have a webserver (e.g. apache2) configured and running on the machine where phantomjs is being tested?

Thanks,
Atul.
