Hey there, I was trying to upgrade to 4.x (my blog: https://slack.show) but I seem to have caught myself in a bit of limbo. When I try to upgrade, it gives me this error:
Fetched release notes
Version already installed.
Downloading and updating Ghost [skipped]
Updating to a major version
An error occurred.
Message: ‘Cannot find module ‘/var/www/ghost/versions/4.1.2/node_modules/bluebird/js/release/bluebird.js’. Please verify that the package.json has a valid “main” entry’
I’ve tried to google what I can but I cant seem to find anything specific to this error type. Now as a result, even when I try to revert / force install the current version I was previously on (3.42.4), the instance takes forever to do anything and eventually fails, providing this error:
A GhostError occurred.
Message: Could not communicate with Ghost
Suggestion: journalctl -u my-ghost-blog -n 50
Here is my current system information, im running my own instance via a droplet through DigitalOcean:
Debug Information:
OS: Ubuntu, v18.04.4 LTS
Node Version: v14.16.0
Ghost Version: 3.42.4
Ghost-CLI Version: 1.16.3
Environment: production
While I was doing this, I upgraded to Node version 14 from 12 because I read that might help but no luck. I also confirmed that I have only one node installed, since having one in /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin is another possible issue.
ghost-mgr@ghost-ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-tor1-01:/var/www/ghost$ whereis node
node: /usr/bin/node /usr/include/node /usr/share/man/man1/node.1.gz
ghost-mgr@ghost-ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-tor1-01:/var/www/ghost$ which node
/usr/bin/node
ghost-mgr@ghost-ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-tor1-01:/var/www/ghost$ node --version
v14.16.0
ghost-mgr@ghost-ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-tor1-01:/var/www/ghost$ /usr/bin/node --version
v14.16.0
I know this is a somewhat similar issue to other’s I’ve been reading through like:
- 503 errors after Upgrade to Ghost v4 - #12 by WatsonJH
- Upgrade to Ghost v4, but a lot of 503 error
- 502 errors after upgrading to Ghost 4 - #21 by bop
But the update error is so specific that I figured it warranted a new thread.
This is the log provided when it fails to start the instance:

Oh yes, I guess it’s worth mentioning that ghost doctor doesn’t throw any errors / passes all it’s checks.
I hope this is enough information to provide a starting point! If I can provide anything else, please let me know. Any insight would be great!!
