PHP PhantomJS doesn't work on web server

Question

Have the next problem: installed php phantomjs on MAMP. Made all using instructions from here: enter link description here

Everything is ok... Then i copied all my site files to my web hosting site folder and nothing worked. Made a var_dump of response and saw that:

object(JonnyW\PhantomJs\Http\Response)#156 (8) { ["headers"]=> NULL ["status"]=> NULL ["content"]=> NULL ["contentType"]=> NULL ["url"]=> NULL ["redirectURL"]=> NULL ["time"]=> NULL ["console"]=> NULL }

Why it doesn't work, why all is NULL? My code is:

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use JonnyW\PhantomJs\Client;

$client = Client::getInstance();

$request = $client->getMessageFactory()->createRequest('http://jonnyw.me', 'GET');

$response = $client->getMessageFactory()->createResponse();

var_dump($response);

$client->send($request, $response);


echo $response->getContent();

Can you login to your server via SSH?

The most likley things is if it's shared hosting, they will more than probably not allow you to execute arbitrary executables... i.e. the executable in ~/bin/phantomjs

To execute non-standard i.e. user installed stuff, you'll need a VPS or Dedicated server.

@ArtyomSosonko Yes, buy a VPS from one of many hosting providers: digitalocean.com or flops.ru

I've got a VPS but my problem persist. What configuration I'm missing?

Problem was about executable downloaded by composer, so following issue #86 I put this on my code:

$client->getEngine()->setPath('/usr/bin/phantomjs');

So now I'm using default binaries and works great.
