Upgrading to 2.0 Error - Can't connect to the bootstrap socket (localhost 8000) ECONNREFUSED

adepurana · August 23, 2018, 12:07pm

Hi guys,

I’ve successfully updated ghost to

Ghost-CLI version: 1.9.1
Ghost Version (at /var/www/ghost): 2.0.3

when do ghost start is an endless waiting,
so I try ghost run

and get
Can't connect to the bootstrap socket (localhost 8000) ECONNREFUSED
at this point I can access my web. But again when stop it and using ghost start, process can’t been finished and my blog isn’t started.

appreciate for your help

Hey @adepurana what process manager are you using? If you didn’t explicitly set one, it’s probably systemd.

adepurana · August 24, 2018, 2:20am

yup It’s systemd @vikaspotluri123

Kate · August 24, 2018, 6:14pm

That is currently expected. ghost run does not open a bootstrap socket. I agree it’s confusing. We should reconsider logging this when running ghost run - need to figure out how.

when do ghost start is an endless waiting,

Hm that is weird, might be a bug. You could run watch --interval 0.5 netstat -tulnp in a second shell window and look which ports show up when executing ghost start.

vikaspotluri123 · August 24, 2018, 6:43pm

I think we can improve the behavior after fixing #787 - After the bootstrap socket is destroyed, we remove the port from the config file

Kate · August 24, 2018, 6:58pm

@vikaspotluri123 Yeah that sounds like a good idea

billedawson · August 25, 2018, 7:23pm

I am having similar issues. When I run watch --interval 0.5 netstat -tulnp the only port that shows is 8000.

Kate · August 26, 2018, 12:13am

Which OS are you using?

adepurana · August 27, 2018, 4:19am

Im using Ubuntu 16.04

Kate · August 27, 2018, 2:15pm

Can you pls define “endless” - how long did you wait?
Could you also please open two shell windows.

The first will run ghost restart. The second window will run ghost log -f. Please share the log here. THanks

adepurana · August 27, 2018, 2:38pm

I got nothing when doing the ghost restart,

then got this message after I try use
nohup ghost run &

Looks like Ghost is already running, that would explain it.

Can you run ps aux | grep node?

Kate · August 27, 2018, 5:27pm

But i wonder why the CLI does not get the error message back from Ghost. I’ll test that.

Kate · August 29, 2018, 11:23am

@adepurana ping

Kate · August 29, 2018, 11:29am

Hm you probably got the “port is running” error, because ghost start did start the instance, but somehow the CLI wasn’t informed about it.

The screenshot you have shared does not show the bit when Ghost is stopped and started (triggered by ghost restart). Can you share again and show this bit? Thanks!

I have restarted the ghost restart few times, but no additional log is adding

It looks like you somehow have 2 Ghost instances running on your server. Can you pls double check? It’s hard to diagnose without having access to the server.

billedawson · September 1, 2018, 2:11pm

ghost restart ran for 3.5 minutes without resolution.
