Okay so I already have a droplet dedicated to one Ghost blog. I wanted to create a test droplet today so I went ahead and used the one-click app to install Ghost with Ubuntu 18.04. I logged into the console once the droplet was created.
Ghost installer ran automatically up until the point where it notifies you of entering your domain and email for SSL. After pressing ENTER, the installer just exists and when I check /var/www/ghost/ the directory is empty. Am I doing something wrong here?
This I’ve tried:

Still having this issue in 2020 :( Just installed an Ubuntu Droplet and went on here https://ghost.org/docs/install/ubuntu/?_ga=2.65752169.678147745.1592695501-1319289443.1592695501#create-a-directory
Works like a charm
Still having this issue, installing ghost directly from the ready droplet is completely broken
Another reason it would not install correctly is if the ghost database user account is not using the correct password during install. I ran into that problem, where I needed to update the password of the ghost user to the same password used in the install script. After that everything else worked as expected.
Got this error with One Click install. Here’s a quick run down of what I did to resolve in the event that someone else encounters the same issue.
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
sudo mkdir /var/www/ghost sudo chown ghost-mgr:ghost-mgr /var/www/ghost
ghost install --auto --db=mysql --dbhost=localhost --dbname=ghost_production --dbuser=ghost --dbpass=veryNicePassword --dir=/var/www/ghost --start
same here. tried the “click once” option and now stuck in hell.
can’t run any ghost commands because
Welll… bummerrrrrrrr… it doesn’t work… great. I was hoping to roll out a Ghost site in 1.2.3… but nothing…
Infuriating. Feel like I’m being “punked” trying to use this system. I’ve been trying for months. I RTFM and have followed directions in the docs to create a “one-click” Ghost. It’s just unusable, inexcusable. “One-click” is misused here.
Still having same issue on 2019, really sucks…
has this been fix yet? , having the same issue
Same problem here. Ended up installing it on my own.
