This error has been under my skin for a few hours now. I decided to code up a separate project just to see if I can replicate it and I can, but ONLY on my server. This works on my Mac.
Mac: OSX El Capitan 10.11.6
Server: CentOS 7.2.1511
Both have PhantomJS version: 2.1.1
Python Mac: Python 2.7.11
Python Server: 2.7.5
Both have Selenium version: 2.53.0
Identical code ran on both:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities

dcap["phantomjs.page.customHeaders.accept"] = "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8"
dcap["phantomjs.page.customHeaders.Accept-Language"] = "en-US,en;q=0.8"
dcap["phantomjs.page.customHeaders.connection"] = "keep-alive"
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(desired_capabilities=dcap)
driver.set_window_size(1120, 700)
driver.get("https://www.instagram.com/espn/")
while True:
print len(driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("a[href*='/p/']"))
driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")
try:
loadMore = driver.find_element_by_link_text("Load more")
loadMore.click()
except NoSuchElementException:
print "No such"
driver.save_screenshot('none.png')
Mac output:

One related answer I found was here: Can't run PhantomJS in python via Selenium
So I installed Selenium 2.37 and it gave the same error.
I read this answer about the problem perhaps behind related to changing the headers, so I removed the headers by changing the driver to driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()
and still get the same error.
I also installed 2.7.12 on the server, to see if there was a difference. Output was:
# python2.7 junk.py
