I recently attempted to update my Ghost blog’s URL using the command line and have run into a persistent Nginx error. Despite following the standard procedure and ensuring my DNS settings are correct, my website is still showing the default Nginx welcome page instead of the Ghost blog.(new domain name ingoumoodle)
old one cottallojo.com
I’ve tried restarting both Ghost and Nginx services, checked my Nginx configuration files for any errors, and verified that the DNS records are pointing to my server’s IP. SSL certificates have also been reissued for the new domain. However, the issue remains, and my visitors cannot access the blog.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem? I’m looking for advice on what might be going wrong and how to fix it. Here are the steps I’ve already taken:
Updated the config.production.json file with the new URL.
Restarted Ghost and Nginx services multiple times.
Ensured that the A and AAAA DNS records are properly set.
Checked Nginx error logs, but the output wasn’t conclusive.
Reissued SSL certificates using Certbot, which reported a DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up A for www.ingoumoodle.com.
I’m at a bit of a loss here and would appreciate any guidance or suggestions you might have. Thank you in advance for your time and help!
Before do any major changes, you must backup your everything with ghost backup. After that you can do changes that you want to make. once you run ghost setup it will ask few questions.
Change following only
Blog URL - your new url
Set up NGINX? Y
Set up SSL? Y
Set up systemd? Y
other options must skip with pressing enter. It will remain existing values.
Please I have the same issues.
I update my current url COTTALLOJO.com with me one named ingoumoodle.com.
No SSL for the new domain

Some features of Ghost-CLI may not work without additional configuration.
For local installs we recommend using `ghost install local` instead.
I just went to ‘https://ingoumoodle.com’ and appears to be a site with the ghost framework - so looks like you got it going then? I noticed you have been struggling on here for a bit and although I fall wayyy short of being any sort of expert, I was going to offer whatever two cents I could.
If in fact you are good to go, then ‘swallow your ssh key’(figure of speech, please don’t) just try to avoid accessing the server backend for as long as possible. Using the primary web interface should provide a pleasant enough experience. Till the dreaded day comes that you must update ghost and/or reboot your system, that’s when you start saying your prayers, because I would put money down on this statement - that you will run into some abnormal condition and have to come swinging back to searching the net and the forums for some error that appears nearly identical to a number of posts and articles, yet niche enough that you still end up having to create the final formula fix yourself.
I fix the issues by create new nginx file for domain using AI chatGPT paid version. Then install SSL . Reboot. The issues come from syntax errors NGNIX
