Hello! I have a little problem with my installation of Ghost. I installed it and set target from my domain to it. I also setted it up to be only available at the domain I chose. Everything is working, but all links at the blog leads not to the domain, but to the IP of my Droplet.
Do I need to change anything in a config? And where do I need to change it?
Thanks, Lukáš Pánek

For Ghost to properly generate links with the domain name of your blog, you need to edit a setting in its configuration file. The file’s name is config.production.json If you are using the DigitalOcean Ghost One-Click application, it is located at /var/www/ghost/config.production.json
Find the section of the file containing the IP address:
"url": "http://111.11.11.111",
and edit it to contain your domain name:
"url": "http://example.com",
You can also do this using the Ghost CLI tool from inside the Ghost directory:
- cd /var/www/ghost/
- ghost config url http://example.com
Finally, you will need to restart Ghost for the change to take effect:
- ghost restart
Hello, it says permission denied when I tried running this: /var/www/ghost/config.production.json
