If you’re looking for some help, it’s important to provide as much context as possible so that people are able to assist you. Try to always mention:

  • What’s your URL?

Local only at the moment. It’s just a white page at http://localhost:2368/ghost/

  • What version of Ghost are you using?

I can access my pages just fine and I was able to access my admin page yesterday.

Ghost-CLI version: 1.11.0
Ghost version: 2.31.1 (at ~/myBLOG/ghost)
  • What configuration?
{
  "url": "http://localhost:2368/",
  "server": {
    "port": 2368,
    "host": "127.0.0.1"
  },

    "client": "sqlite3",
    "connection": {

    }
  },

  "logging": {
    "transports": [

      "stdout"
    ]
  },
  "process": "local",
  "paths": {
    "contentPath": "/Users/john/myBLOG/ghost/content"
  }
}
  • What browser?

Any browser really, I guess.

  • What errors or information do you see in the console?

  • What steps could someone else take to reproduce the issue you’re having?

Try to go to /ghost/ admin URL and observe console.

I fixed it!

Here’s what I did:

  1. Installed a fresh Ghost blog
  2. Copied the local SQLite file (should be located in /content/data) of the corrupted admin blog and replaced the database file in the fresh new blog.
  3. Restarted new blog via ghost restart
  4. Success!
