Minor upgrade issue - "Port '2368' is in use"

The past two times I’ve upgraded Ghost (2.13.1 and 2.14.3) I’ve gotten the error below. Ghost is not running when I check, and simply running ‘ghost start’ after works as expected. Looks like the Ghost process is just not shutting down fast enough for the speedy upgrade process? Maybe a retry or two could be added?

Thanks,
Bryan

  1. Validating config

Error detected in the production configuration.

Try running ghost doctor to check your system for known issues.

You can always refer to Ghost-CLI - A fully loaded tool for installation and configuration for troubleshooting.

For the 2.15.0 upgrade I tried stopping Ghost before running the update, and it worked as expected, including Ghost running properly after the upgrade finished.
