Question

After installing some new themes on a Ghost droplet, rebooting it, I get a 502 Bad Gateway message. I didn't change any other settings as far as I'm aware but I'm told this has something to do with my nginx configuration? Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this?

Check the owner:group attributes. What's the output of ls -la /path/to/Ghost/directory/? If you see root:root sprinkled in there, execute sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/Ghost/directory/.
