This seems to be an issue with phantom js runner and phantom js versions.

https://github.com/karma-runner/karma-phantomjs-launcher/issues/31

How I fixed my issue..

   # install 
   npm install -g karma-phantomjs-launcher

   # temporary path.. set the path
   export PHANTOMJS_BIN=/usr/local/lib/node_modules/karma-phantomjs-launcher/node_modules/phantomjs/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs

   karma start my.conf.js
