Using PHD2 for the first time I got the message "ASCOM driver problem during connection:  (ASCOM.utilities)  The PortName cannot be empty.  Parameter name:  PortName"

How to fix it??

You need to open the Setup dialog in the ASCOM driver and specify the serial port number it uses.  If the device is physically connected to the PC, you can look in the Device Manager of Windows and see what port it’s using.  Nothing to do with PHD2.
