> Many thanks @jeff - the problem was a path inside the systemd unit for the service following the Node move. ExecStart=/usr/bin/node /usr/bin/ghost run Path /usr/bin/node no longer existed (confirmed via ls /usr/bin/node). In case others have this problem, find node by using whereis node: manager@server:~$ whereis node node: /usr/local/bin/node Then use a text editor to correct the config line: ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/node /usr/bin/ghost run Systemd then needs to be told about the changes…
