I have created a droplet with the one click ghost app, configured /var/www/ghost/config.js /etc/nginx/sites-available/ghost with my sites url and it worked fine until I added a theme and restarted it.
Up on restart I get 502 bad gateway, I tried running npm start --production and I get the error “Error: your site url in config.js is invalid”. here is the error https://jpst.it/GFUL
I can’t figure out what really is the problem. Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks

Answer provided by user SphericalCow "If I am reading the code right on ghost/core/server/config/index.js, it seems like it needs the protocol. Not sure if you have it in your config, but it should be
http://mysite.com
Otherwise, it seems like the issue happened after you had added a new theme. I don’t recall any settings where I had to set a new theme with the site url, but you may want to see if the site comes up after removing the new theme. If so, there may be something wrong with the new theme."
