Try running ghost doctor to check your system for known issues.

You can always refer to https://ghost.org/docs/ghost-cli/ for troubleshooting.

**I’m also testing with `ghost doctor.`**

```auto
ghost doctor
Found a development config but not a production config, running in development mode instead

I also run **`ghost update --force`** to solve my error, but it is not working.  
Any advice to solve the error, plz tell me in the comment section.  
Thanks for help
