Someone can help ? What changed between ghost 3.16.1 and 3.2x ??

4

Problem solved. Before update config was in “current/core/server/config/env/” after upgrade config have to be in “current”

5

To be clear that hasn’t changed, config should always have been in the root directory of your install* so current is also the incorrect location.

We moved where config lives internally, but it should not have had any impact because no one should be editing the core folder.

Folder structure docs are here:

OK, thanks for reply and link

I get this error when I call ghost restart and ghost is not already running.
