Digital Ocean pre-build image : Ghost 0.5 on Ubuntu 14.04
I followed a few guides, but I can’t seem to get it to work correctly, what am I doing wrong? I want davedh2.com to host my personal site, and have blog.davedh2.com for my ghost blog.
my DNS: http://picpaste.com/pics/Screen_Shot_2014-08-21_at_1.45.40_PM-Nz9gcgnR.1408654168.png
my nginx/sites-available file
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
server_name davedh2.com; # Replace with your domain
location / {
root /usr/share/nginx/davedh2;
index index.html index.htm;
}
}
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
server_name blog.davedh2.com; # Replace with your domain
access_log /var/log/nginx/ghost.log
client_max_body_size 10G;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:2368;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_buffering off;
}
}
my config.js
// ### Production
// When running Ghost in the wild, use the production environment
// Configure your URL and mail settings here
production: {
url: 'http://davedh2.com',
mail: {},
database: {
client: 'sqlite3',
connection: {
filename: path.join(__dirname, '/content/data/ghost.db')
},
debug: false
},
server: {
// Host to be passed to node's `net.Server#listen()`
host: '127.0.0.1',
// Port to be passed to node's `net.Server#listen()`, for iisnode set this to `process.env.PORT`
port: '2368'
}
},

Hey Andrew,
Yes, I did create the directory, and there is an index.html. I didn’t know that I had to execute the command service ghost restart, lol just found about it. Now, I can go back and forth within the blog, but I’m still unable to load my index.html from /urs/share/nginx/davdh2.
as for the config.js do you mean like this? Thank you.

That mostly looks right to me. Except if you want the Ghost blog on the subdomain, you should set it in config.js as well:
production: {
url: 'http://davedh2.com',
Does the directory /usr/share/nginx/davedh2 actually exist? Is there an index.html file there?
