Question
404 error after creating a Ghost droplet
- Posted on November 2, 2023
- DigitalOcean Droplets
Asked by David
I was following a tutorial for creating a Droplet with Ghost. Even without setting up the domain name, it looks like I must be able to open and see a Ghost message to continue with the installation, just opening the IP address, but in my case, I only see a 404 error.
What did I do wrong?

Heya @davided9d7e06860044efb1cd874fc,
Did you use the MarketPlace Ghost Droplet :
https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/ghost
Or are you trying to manually configure Ghost? Additionally, can you post what steps you have followed and from which tutorial?
Hi there,
Did you use the 1-Click Ghost installation image from the Marketplace or did you install Ghost manually?
I could suggest using the 1-Click installation from the Marketplace:
I’ve just tested it and it seems to be working as expected.
What you could do is, as this is a new Droplet, delete it and spin up a new one using the link above.
Let me know how it goes!
Best,
Bobby
