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!
