phantom JS configuration when used with InternJS - phantomjs

Question

I want to use phantomJS with Intern for functional testing.
I Installed phantomJS and ran the command "phantomjs --webdriver 4444", it ran successfully.
Then tried to run intern-runner with the command "intern-runner config=tests/intern" -file tests/intern is shown at the end of the post-.
but i keep getting the error
intern-runner config=tests/intern
Listening on 0.0.0.0:9000
Tunnel started
Suite phantomjs on any platform FAILED
UnknownError: [POST http: //localhost:4444/wd/hub/session / {"desiredCapabilities":{"browserName":"phantomjs","name":"tests/intern","idle-timeout":60}}] An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command.
on intern.
and the error

on phantomjs - this error appears after running the intern-runner-.
does anyone know what the problem is?.
p.s. I'm using phantomJS v.1.9.8
tests/intern :
define({
proxyPort: 9000,
proxyUrl: 'http://localhost:9000/',
environments: [
{ browserName: 'phantomjs' }
],
maxConcurrency: 3,
useSauceConnect: false,
loaders: {
'host-browser': 'node_modules/requirejs/require.js'
},
tunnel: 'NullTunnel',
functionalSuites: [ 'tests/functional/modetest' ],
});

PhantomJS 1 is ancient (it uses a version of WebKit from 2012) and not supported. You must use PhantomJS 2+ with Intern.
