Ghost admin page not loading

[athira]

Installed ghost from the latest source and followed this Ghost Docs for setup.

Ghost blog page loads fine but when I try try to access the admin page ie the ‘/admin’ it doesn’t load and shows only the spinner and in the browser it shows the transition was aborted for "/ghost/api/canary/admin/site/ " and “host/api/canary/admin/users/me/?include=roles”

Could someone help me with this?

In the templates used by Ghost-CLI (which you can find in the repo via the cli docs the location is specified exactly rather than using the caret-tilde match: location /blog/ { // config here } Not 100% sure if this is the cause though - it could be some other part of the file is causing a con…

I am working on mac-os and I assume ghost-cli is for linux… rest of the page loads only the ghost admin page i am not able to set it up

The Ghost CLI works on macOS too

I am running into a new issue with the above doc.

When i ran the ghost start I am getting the following error

ER_BAD_FIELD_ERROR: Unknown column ‘canonical_url’ in ‘field list’

This appears to be a duplicate of the issue reported here:
