Output from ghost start
- sudo systemctl is-active ghost_corballis-co-uk
- sudo systemctl reset-failed ghost_corballis-co-uk

Because of the status=203/EXEC, I thought it could be a problem with the .service file. When I looked the ExecStart wasn’t pointing at the correct directory for either node or ghost so I changed it from
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node /usr/bin/ghost run
To
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/node /usr/local/bin/ghost run
Why? Because when I ran whereis node it returned: node: /usr/local/bin/node. Same thing when I ran whereis ghost.
There is also the following error in the production log:
Can't connect to the bootstrap socket (localhost 8000) ECONNREFUSED.
But this appears to be related to the ExecStart line change that was needed, i.e. resolving the one should resolve the other.
Other things I have tried:
-
ghost install localthat worked and produced a reachable development site on localhost:2368 - Installing a brand new copy of ghost in a newly created directory. Same issues.
Now I’m literally at my wits end or, at least, the end of my knowledge and Google search is only throwing up that the ExecStart line in the service file should be changed, which I’ve already done but to no avail.
which I think is related to node.js (express) performing a redirect instead of it being done by nginx.
