Hi all,
I was running ghost on a digital ocean droplet and updated from v3 to v4. As soon as the update was done I started getting 502 and 503 errors. ghost run worked but ghost start did not.
There are other threads mentioning such errors but none seem to stem from the issue I have:
Ghost seems to be looping indefinitely, looking at the logs it seems that there is an issue with port 2368 somehow being already used (I am not running multiple installs of Ghost as far as I know)
I have found mentions of such an error sporadically from 2017 to 2019 but cannot for the life of me find a working solution today. I have tried to force update ghost time and time again, as well as changing the port to 2369 in the config (which broke Ghost run). Nothing has worked until now.
The Droplet is running Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.15.0-158-generic x86_64)
