Question
502 Bad Gateway error for Ghost after setting up server block for static site and restarting Nginx.
Hello there,
I recently installed Ghost via the One Click Application and tried to host it on a subdomain blog.my-domain.com. I created an Nginx server block for the static site to point to www.my-domain.com which is working fine. But when I try to access the Ghost Blog I get a 502 Bad Gateway error.
The two directories configured to serve the websites are:
1) /var/www/ghost for the blog which was there by default
2) /var/www/my-domain.com/html for the static website
The server block config file for ghost is at /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ghost
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
root /var/www/ghost;
index index.html index.htm;
server_name blog.my-domain.com www.blog.my-domain.com;
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header HOST $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2368;
proxy_redirect off;
}
}
The server block config for the static site is at /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/my-domain.com
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root /var/www/my-domain.com/html;
index index.html index.htm;
server_name my-domain.com www.my-domain.com;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
}
The Ghost config.js file which is at /var/www/ghost/ contains
var path = require('path'),
config;
config = {
// ### Production
// When running Ghost in the wild, use the production environment.
// Configure your URL and mail settings here
production: {
url: 'http://blog.my-domain.com',
mail: {},
database: {
client: 'sqlite3',
connection: {
filename: path.join(__dirname, '/content/data/ghost.db')
},
debug: false
},
server: {
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: '2368'
}
},
// #### Database
// Ghost supports sqlite3 (default), MySQL & PostgreSQL
database: {
client: 'sqlite3',
connection: {
filename: path.join(__dirname, '/content/data/ghost-dev.db')
},
debug: false
},
// #### Server
// Can be host & port (default), or socket
server: {
// Host to be passed to node's `net.Server#listen()`
host: '127.0.0.1',
// Port to be passed to node's `net.Server#listen()`, for iisnode set this to `process.env.PORT`
port: '2368'
},
// #### Paths
// Specify where your content directory lives
paths: {
contentPath: path.join(__dirname, '/content/')
}
}
};
module.exports = config;
I also tried to recreate the symlink by removing the old one and creating it again using
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/ghost /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ghost
I restarted the server using sudo service nginx restart and also ghost with sudo service ghost restart
When I checked it status of ghost with sudo service ghost status , it says it’s running.
The Nginx Logs can be found here
Any help would be much appreciated!
