Hi there, I just updated to the latest version of Ghost and I’m unable to start it in production mode. Running “ghost run” launches the site, but when using “ghost start” it gets hung up on “starting ghost”

Any ideas how I can fix? Thank you!

Thanks for the reply! No luck here unfortunately. And no errors being spit out by Ghost doctor or ghost run
