Hello,
I just completed a fresh installation on Ubuntu 22.04 self hosted on AWS EC2. I followed exactly the official Ghost documentation. After the Ghost install completed I opened a browser to my domain barryleeblogs.com and received a 502 Bad Gateway Error. I also tried barryleeblogs.com/ghost. Surprisingly I did not see any tutorials on what the first step is after you create the installation but I assume some default site comes up.
Ghost doctor runs fine, no issues.
I am using AWS Route 53 for DNS
The nginx log: Ok I tried to post the error log entry but I couldn’t post because the forum told me that new users cannot post more than 3 links, since I have no links I assume it is the log
Since the Ghost installer automates everything, I am not sure what to look for.
Gentlemen,
Note that I am installing Ghost on GCP and I am getting the same error, although I have followed the suggestions from this link, still no luck
Indeed, its a fresh installation and its running.
Just posted it as a potential workarround, since i saw that port has changed from the initial one mentioned in the config files, post changing them, i can see ngnix error logs , the old port and not the newest one post editing the files
Thank you, so I discovered that Ghost when started shuts down immediately. From journalctl -u ghost_barryleeblogs

EC2 does not allow root logon, and if you do something like
sudo su root
or to enter mysql with root, no password is required.
So this is the issue, not sure the steps to resolve?
Success!
So apparently the official Ghost installation instructions bypass any setup for mysql other than installing it. But a root password needs to be set. I discovered that the ghost install did not even create a database. I solved by doing the following:
