  • What browser? Brave/FF/Chrome
  • What errors or information do you see in the console?
    In the browser I’m getting ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR.
    When I curl -I the domain I get 502 error. When I try to check the journalctl -e I get unrelated logs.

What steps could someone else take to reproduce the issue you’re having? Have existing site and then install new one

I have been trying to update ghost, I’m on 0.3.x, so I am trying to migrate domains, I tried to migrate first to 1.x but my node version is too new so I’m trying to install version 3 clean and try to migrate my posts.

I am running nginx so I removed the old domain from /sites-enabled/, the old let’s encrypt certs for the www. domain - along with the A-records from my DNS (Digital Ocean).

Ghost.service won’t start and the errors in /content/logs are empty, any ideas?

I got the answer on another thread, you can see the issue here: Site accessable in Curl only - #4 by MrEngineer13 - Help - Let's Encrypt Community Support. Basically I had to toggle ssl_session_tickets on even though I have a version of nginx newer than what the comment on that line specifies
