Getting exception org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: java.net.ConnectException:

I am using Cucumber and Java to automate Selenium test cases. Using Jenkins to execute the job. The job is scheduled to run every day. However, after a few test case runs, my task failed with the following error, which is an intermittent problem. Is there anything that can be done in this scenario?
Error:

UnreachableBrowserException - when using PhantomJS with java on OrangePiOne (Ubuntu 18.04.2)

I want to fill a html form on a website with my small java program using PhantomJS. It is tested on my Win 10 machine and works perfectly. I would also like to run it on my OrangePiOne (Armbian 5.85 and Ubuntu 18.04.2). Every time I run the program I get the following exception:

In the following method I am setting up the driver but get the exception during the return statement:
private WebDriver createDriver(String phantomjsExeutableFilePath) {
Suche.log(":::phantomjs path: " + phantomjsExeutableFilePath);
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setJavascriptEnabled(true);
capabilities.setCapability(PHANTOMJS_EXECUTABLE_PATH_PROPERTY, phantomjsExeutableFilePath);
return new PhantomJSDriver(capabilities); // Exception is thrown here
}
I have downloaded the PhantomJS lib from official site and also chmod'ed it.
Could it be the fault of OrangePiOne or am I missing something?

It worked when I used phantomjs build for rasberry pi instead the one from the official site.
This issue was solved with phantomjs-on-rasberrypi from https://github.com/fg2it/phantomjs-on-raspberry.

I solved the problem by configuring the system property for the internet explorer driver,
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "IEDriverServer.exe");
And changed the protected mode setting to be same for all the zones.

PhantomJS driver wont start

I'm having issues starting up the PhantomJS driver. It works just fine on my local machine (OSX) but I'm having issues getting it started on the server (Linux).
Here's the code that causes the issue:
DesiredCapabilities dcap = new DesiredCapabilities();
String[] phantomArgs = new String[] { "--webdriver-loglevel=NONE" };
dcap.setCapability(PhantomJSDriverService.PHANTOMJS_CLI_ARGS, phantomArgs);
dcap.setCapability("phantomjs.binary.path", "/usr/local/bin/phantomjs");
WebDriver driver = new PhantomJSDriver(dcap);
And here's the stack trace of the issue:

I built the PhantomJS from source and had it working before - it ran through the tests just fine. Additionally, it works locally on my machine. Any thoughts on what could be causing the issue?

The problem was due to the phantomjs's inability to write to the log file. Changing the file permissions of the log file resolved the issue.
