If you’re looking for some help, it’s important to provide as much context as possible so that people are able to assist you. Try to always mention: - What’s your URL? [https://wyliebayes.com](https://wyliebayes.com) (but not working cause ghost wont start) - What version of Ghost are you using? 2.8.0 - What configuration? not sure what this is asking - What browser? doesn’t matter, ghost wont start - What errors or information do you see in the console? Ghost will not start, points to a log file that contains: Debug Information: OS: openbsd, v6.4 Node Version: v8.12.0 Ghost-CLI Version: 1.9.8 Command: ‘ghost start’ Message: Ghost process exited with code: 0 Stack: Error: Ghost process excited with code: 0 at ChildProcess.cp.on (/usr/local/lib/node\_modules/ghost-cli/lib/utils/local-process.js:56:24) at emitTwo (events.js:126:13) at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:214:7) at Process.ChildProcess.\_handle.onexit (internal/child\_process.js:198:12) Any help resolving this error and getting my website back online would be super appreciated. ---

I do not know what is the exact issue here. But probably you can rollback the changes to get your site back online. Then install a local copy of a site backup and try to upgrade the Ghost to the latest version on that before you do it on the live server. **Rollback command** `ghost update --rollback` or consider a force update (I do not recommend) `ghost update --force` Docs: [Ghost-CLI - A fully loaded tool for installation and configuration](https://docs.ghost.org/api/ghost-cli/update/) > BTW, I came here to check if someone’s having issues after updating the ghost to 2.8.0. Before performing the update command on my server. 😅 ---

LOL. well glad i could help. I also have a pretty unique server env so not sure if the same would affect you. Thanks for the suggestion, i tried a rollback but now am getting: It appears sqlite3 did not install properly when Ghost-CLI was installed. You can either uninstall and reinstall Ghost-CLI, or switch to MySQL. I uninstalled / reinstall ghost-cli but it doesn’t not help, same problem on start and rollback. ---

I’m having the same error message updating from 2.2 to 2.80. It’s a bug or can be solved upgrading to Node 8? Regards ---

So when I initially experienced the problem i was still on Node 6.x, so i upgraded to node 8.12, but it did not resolve the issue. Only applying the --force flag on “ghost update” command resolved it. ---
