Second site on Raspberry Pi - ECONNREFUSED

Developer help
1

I’m trying to get a second instance of Ghost up and running on my Pi. Mostly, I think its there, but when I try to start the service (ghost start) I get:

Debug Information:
OS: Raspbian, v9.4
Node Version: v6.14.2
Ghost-CLI Version: 1.7.3
Environment: production
Command: ‘ghost start’
Message: Ghost did not start.
Suggestion: journalctl -u ghost_storypositive-com -n 50
Stack: Error: Ghost did not start.

Original Error Message:
Message: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:2368
Stack: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:2368

at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1099:14)

My other site loads fine and can be reached via this URL: www.corballis.co.uk

I’m pretty sure things are as they should be:

  • each site is in a separate directory
  • Symlinks appear to be okay
  • nginx config seems ticketyboo

I’m using the same credentials for maria for both, though different database names

ghost doctor reveals no errors.

ghost run says:

Note, ghost run doesn’t make the same complaint about the working site.

I’m all out of ideas so anything anyone can point me at would be welcome.

Thanks for the response.

I did that, but it still kept failing. Why, I don’t know.

I have now got past this problem. Here’s what I did in case anyone else gets a similar issue:

  1. I went into the Maria command line and manually created the database for the second site: CREATE DATABASE database_name;
  2. Exited Maria: exit
  3. Exported the first site’s database, by running this command: mysqldump yourFirstDatabase -u user -ppassword > yourDatabase.sql
  4. Imported the dumped file: sudo mysql yourSecondDatabase -u user -ppassword < yourDatabase.sql
  5. Enabled the service: systemctl enable ghost_second-site.service
  6. Start the service: ghost start [from the second_site directory]
  7. Checked to see if everything was working: ghost ls

That did mean that second_site looked exactly like first, so I went into the Admin console and edited/deleted stuff there.

Note, notwithstanding that I had to set up the database manually, the correct permissions had been assigned in the user catalogue by the set up process so I didn’t need to do anything there.

I have no idea why the database setup failed, I tried to run it from cli and also tried running the Knew Migration tool, but neither worked for some reason. I suspect I did something stupid earlier on. :frowning:
