Ghost service does not run correctly

Posted on February 16, 2014

I made a previous question, but it submitted without my details. When I type “service ghost start” in ssh, the service does not run. The return message is “Starting Ghost ghost” If i type “service ghost status”, it says that ghost is not running.

If I try to access my domain, I see the 502 bad gateway error. How do I debug this issue?

sudo chown -R ghost:ghost /var/www/ghost/

then try starting ghost normally

I just ran into the same issue. Ghost is not starting even after changing permissions…
