Unable to start via Bitnami due to binary dependencies

Developer help Installation
1

I am currently using Ghost using AWS Lightsail.
But I forgot that I should not update the dependencies in Ghost by myself.

So I tried running sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh start to get all three service (mysql, ghost, apache) up and it said (excluding the ‘mysql’ and ‘apache’ server is up part and passed check):

Message: The installed node version has changed since Ghost was installed.
Help: Run ghost update 4.7.0 --force to re-install binary dependencies.

and I have tried run ghost update 4.7.0 --force and it seems to not help anything. Nor ghost doctor.
Now my website (https://blog.sagelga.com) is in code 503.

So I tried starting it using ghost start. It doesn’t help and when using Bitnami tool, it still shows the service is down.
and also when I access it, it directs me to 127.0.0.1:2368, which is port + private IP of the Ghost service.

I tried stop, restart from both Ghost CLI and Bitnami tool, and it seems not to help anything.

1) Checking binary dependencies

    Doing the npm upgrade in apps/ghost/htdocs/current (I think)

I’m not a user of bitnami, so this is just a guess.

It looks like you have either downgraded your Node version (Ghost running v14.17 - but OS reporting v14.15) - or you have two versions of Node installed.

You might try to debug:

node --version
which node
/usr/bin/node --version
/usr/local/bin/node --version

If you only have one node and its the old version - maybe upgrade to v14.17 - the easiest way IMHO to do this is using the NPM n module.

If you have two versions installed, remove the old one.
