Ghost 502 error & lodash error

My site, highgravityconsulting.com, is getting a 502 error. This site has been up and running for a couple years and other than system upgrades (I have them set to occur automatically), I haven’t touched it. No config settings changes at all and suddenly, its just not working.

When I go into my ghost directory and try to manually start ghost, I get this error:

ERROR: Cannot find module 'lodash/object/assign'

I tried to reinstall lodash but get the same problem. Anyone have suggestions?

Boom! Figured it out. Looks like the last upgrade of Ghost I did bombed and I completely missed it. Blew it all away and started from scratch (minus my data), doing an install from zip, and it works again.
