phantomjs: cannot connect to X server

[GoogleCodeExporter]

From a php file I have tried something like:

exec("phantomjs /path/rasterize.js http://google.com screenshot.png")

My paths are fine, php config and permissions as well.

But my apache log says: phantomjs: cannot connect to X server

Any idea? Thanks in advance for your wonderful work!

PhantomJS is not "pure headless" yet. On Unix, it still needs X Server for font 
stuff, etc.

I see, I just run it using xvfb and worked fine. Perhaps could be useful to 
specify it in the docs.

hi,
i am able to run phantomjs through commandline properly,but when i try to run 
phantomjs using php i get the error [WARNING] phantomjs: cannot connect to X 
server.
I had also followed steps for xvfb installation and xvfb installed correctly.
Any idea?
