title: Selenium with GhostDriver in Python on Windows
body: <p>This is embarrassing to ask because it seems like something with so slim chance of error. I wouldn't think this would be difficult, but I've been plugging away at this for almost 3 hours now and it's giving me a headache. I've read several dozen stackoverflow threads and Google threads.</p>
  
  <p>I've installed PhantomJS, added it to my System Variables PATH, and it works properly in the command line. I also installed Selenium earlier with easy_install. </p>
  
  <p>The error I get is: </p>
  
  <pre><code>__init__    C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\selenium-2.39.0-py2.7.egg\selenium\webdriver\phantomjs\webdriver.py   50      
  
  start   C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\selenium-2.39.0-py2.7.egg\selenium\webdriver\phantomjs\service.py 66      
  
  WebDriverException: Message: 'Unable to start phantomjs with ghostdriver.' ; Screenshot: available via screen               
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here's my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from selenium import webdriver
  
  driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path="C:\Python27\misc\phantomjs\phantomjs.exe")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from selenium import webdriver
  
  driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the same error message. This has to be something simple that I'm doing wrong. I'd appreciate any comments or answers.</p>
