I had the same issue and fixed it by setting
export OPENSSL_CONF=/dev/null
prior to phantomJS usage. If it’s not possible for you to disable openssl then you would have to pack you application with older OpenSSL version.Explanation:
Ubuntu 22.04 uses the new OpenSSL version 3.0.2 instead of the older OpenSSL version 1.1.1 . These OpenSSL versions are not fully compatible, so this is why you see this error when PhantomJS tries to auto configure the SSL/TLS settings.
Above answer is little about as I am describing.
Step:1 First stop your node server then run this command in base directory.
Step:2 I suggest you to comment out the lines providers = provider_sectin in the
file/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf
Step:3 Start your application
