Ghost was able to start, but errored during boot with: Knex: run

Developer help Installation

I’ve been trying to install Ghost on my shared server using cpanel terminal but it’s giving me the following error,
I don’t know understand what I’m doing wrong and I’ve already reinstalled it more than 5 times but I’m facing the same error always,
from my research, I think it has something to do with the GCC compiler and Ghost-CLI is not able to connect to it so help me out.

I was successfully able to install Ghost 4.3.3 but for some reason whenever I try to install the latest version or update it to the latest version it gives me the same error I’ve shown above.

I have come across the same problem while doing the installation on centos7. Though I cannot confirm I think the issue is with incompatibility between centos7 and sqlite3, as mentioned in this blow.

Did we ever find a solution to this in the community?

not really, but I successfully installed a really old version of ghost, I don’t quite remember which version, but it was pretty outdated so I just moved on.

Thanks for the reply.
From my research, I don’t think it’s possible to do either… which is a shame
