Request made from incorrect origin for http://localhost:2368/ghost

Developer help Installation

Hello There

I want to evaluate the ghost software, but haven’t luck to access the Ghost Admin Page. When I want to create the admin user I always get a BadRequestError

BadRequestError: Request made from incorrect origin. Expected ‘http://localhost:3001’ received ‘’.

I have this problem with a local installation with npm and also with the docker image.

What am I doing wrong?

  • What’s your URL? http://localhost:2368/ghost
  • What version of Ghost are you using? 3.1
  • What configuration? Default after installation
  • What browser? Firefox/Vivaldi
  • What errors or information do you see in the console?
  • What steps could someone else take to reproduce the issue you’re having? Follow the installation instruction for local installation on Ubuntu and create the admin user

The error message suggests that you’re not using the default config, and you’ve set the URL to localhost:3001?

To be clear, you are running ghost install local to install Ghost? because this works for me every time.

If that is the case, maybe take a look at your environment variables, which Ghost uses to configure itself, maybe you have some conflicting ones? You can check by running the command env

Finally, if you’re just looking to evaluate using the software, we have free trials on Ghost(Pro) which you can try!
