Hi, I’m trying to start Ghost and I keep failing in “ghost start” command. My situation is as following:
- What version of Ghost are you using? 2.30.2
- What configuration? Ubuntu 16.04
- What errors or information do you see in the console?
When I run “ghost start” or “ghost install” (in the final step), I get the following:
- sudo systemctl is-active ghost_hearta-de
- sudo systemctl reset-failed ghost_hearta-de
Ensuring user is not logged in as ghost user
Checking if logged in user is directory owner
Checking current folder permissions - sudo systemctl is-active ghost_hearta-de
Validating config
Checking folder permissions
Checking file permissions
Checking content folder ownership
Checking memory availability - sudo systemctl start ghost_hearta-de
- sudo systemctl stop ghost_hearta-de
Starting Ghost
A GhostError occurred.

The above error repeats before ghost Ghost finally decides it’s unable to start.
I am a complete newbie when it comes to servers, so I have no idea what these errors mean and would like to learn how to fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
