It looks like my learning curve is very steep with Ghost CMS installation and I am moving from one issue to the other.

I hope to get some help from my fellow members of the forum. I greatly appreciate your kind help. Thank you.

I think the problem with your mysql auth mode…

You can follow the ghost official installation guide here How to install & setup Ghost on Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, 20.04 or 22.04

Thanks for your response, @inoryum. I managed to fix the issue. My MySQL db had some issues and I had to reinstall it.

Secondly, I also had to work on the conf files to make the site work on Apache and also enable HTTPS for it.

Thanks for your inputs. I appreciate.
