Ghost Droplet 502 Bad Gateway Error nginx/1.4.6(Ubuntu)

Hi Connord,

It looks like the section

production: {
        url: 'http://www.testsite.com',

is your culprit. When I tested my ghost install and changed to a URL that wasn’t resolving to the proper IP, I also got a 502. Try replacing that URL with either a URL that is pointed at your Droplet’s IP, or use the IP itself. Save, restart Ghost, and test again.

Hey @BrookDO sudo service ghost status returns ghost start/running, process 1755. Here is my config file.

// # Ghost Configuration

Hi Connord,

Can you share what you changed in the config file? Also, what does sudo service ghost status return?
