Are you running Ghost from source? I would advise following the suggested installation steps shown here:

Hi @DavidDarnes thanks for replying.
I want to ask a small question that if it is possible to run ghost website independent of its backend server?
Since this will install ghost on the server.
And one more thing whenever I am running
http-server .
in ghost/core/client/dist folder so it should start the http-server but whenever I open the link which is
http://127.0.0.1:8080
It keeps on loading and gives the following output in the terminal

Can I ask if you’re trying to run this install locally or on a production server?

@DavidDarnes Thanks for replying
Currently I am running this locally.
What I want is to run admin client separately and my site (localhost:2368) separately.

I think I understand, does that mean you want to host Ghost on a different server to your published site? If so then that sounds like you want to use Ghost as a Headless CMS. Check out this doc which goes into more detail:
