Hi I have created a new oracle cloud vm and run updates/upgrade. Followed the official Ghost install guide

URL: Ghost Admin
Ghost: 5.49.3
OS: Ubuntu 20.04
Nginx / MySQL 8
I have tried using Google chrome and Firefox, I have checked my A record is pointing to my cloud ip address,When I run Ghost Doctor there are no errors, I have checked firewall settings which allow https/http

I have tried rebooting the server and reloading the page same error, nginx default page shows fine, any idea why I cannot access the page? or what else I could check?

It looks like Ghost is running on port 2368. Does this correspond to the sites-available config for Nginx? Likewise, it looks like you’re not using SSL.

Thanks for your reply, I forgot to open https
